TRIO'S TREE TRAUMA
A television worker broke his left leg and two others were less seriously hurt
when a large limb of a tree snapped and fell as Tiger Woods was playing his
second round in the USPGA championship.
The broken leg victim, who was operating a boom microphone under the tree, was
taken to hospital, while an assistant technician and a 60-year-old spectator
were released after treatment on site for leg and arm injuries respectively.
The red oak on the fourth hole had been inspected prior to the start of the
event, but was to be removed at the completion of the day's play at Baltusrol in
New Jersey.
