Toms out of hospital, to play next week

FARMINGTON, Pa., Sept. 16 (UPI) -- David Toms was discharged from Pittsburgh's UPMC-Presbyterian University Hospital Friday, one day after being admitted for a rapid heart rate.

Toms, the 2001 PGA Champion, was diagnosed with Supravenricular Tachycardia, which is any rapid heart rate originating above the ventricles.

Toms originally felt ill Thursday after playing nine holes in the first round of the PGA 84 Lumber Classic.

The 11-time winner on the PGA Tour said he still plans on playing next week at The Presidents Cup.

It was reported that his condition is non-life-threatening and can be treated by either medication or minor surgery.

That diagnosis was the same LPGA's Meg Mallon received after she was hospitalized following Sunday's Solheim Cup. She underwent a procedure and could return to the LPGA Tour as early as next week.
