Italian reportedly fell three floors in South Africa
Golfer ‘in good spirits’ according to his former coach
Italian golfer Andrea Pavan is “thankful to be alive” after reportedly falling three floors down a lift shaft.
The 36-year-old, a two-time European Tour winner, was scheduled to be playing in this week’s South African Open Championship at Stellenbosch Golf Club but was forced to withdraw after the incident on Wednesday.
According to reports the accident, which happened in his private accommodation, occurred when the lift doors opened but there was no lift car in the shaft and Pavan fell, sustaining multiple injuries.
