Golfer donates €20k to hospital

ONE of Europe’s leading golfers has pledged to donate €20,000 to a hospital where his young son was treated after taking ill during this year’s Irish Open.

Ross Fisher’s four-month-old son, Harry, was rushed to Kerry General Hospital after the third day of the big event in Killarney. The infant was diagnosed with a virus and was admitted for treatment.

His son’s illness resulted in the English golfer missing the WCG Bridgestone Invitational in Ohio but he was still entitled to a €20,000 pay-day which he has now vowed to donate to the children’s ward at the hospital.
