He miraculously survived a fatal accident. This week, you are playing the Tour event

Dayton Price played golf on Thursday and Friday.
Unbelievable.
At the Quito Tenis & Golf Club in Quito, Ecuador, at the KIA Open de Ecuador presentation of the Diners Club, an event on the development circuit of the PGA Tour Americas, Price played. He is present at the release of the sponsor. If you should be interested, you can find his points by clicking here, but those are not important.
Perhaps you have heard of his story. Just four years ago, a van carrying members of Southwestern University's golf team was hit by a truck, killing six players and the coach. Only Price and his partner Hayden Underhill survived. The value has been greatly renewed.
And he was there Thursday and Friday, playing golf among the pros.
Playing golf, period.
Unbelievable.
Below, you can find an interview with Price before the tournament, and he has five partners (PGA Tour Americas, PGA Tour, Golf Canada, ProSports Latam and Price Strong, a website dedicated to Price). The interview is great, and you won't find a better story this holiday weekend.
To help you out, below the video are a few quotes from Price.
In the hospital
“I take them to every golf tournament I go to. I take them everywhere I go. Even golf, but in life. My teammates and my coach, they wanted to play professional golf. They wanted to advance their golf careers. That opportunity was taken away from them. So I'm living all their dreams. I try to take them and show them the world, show them where I should be, remember where my father was. Where is my trainer? What happened to them in a few days, but they came in and said we will have to amputate your legs, my father told them, try anything, we will take him anywhere.
In attendance at the Canadian Open in 2022 (Price is from Canada.)
“When I was in the hospital, I got so many phone calls, so many people supporting me. I got cards from the local church, kids down there, people coming to see me. The parents of the kids who passed away, coming to see me was unbelievable. Getting out there and getting a call from Golf Canada saying, 'Hey, do you want to come to the Canadian Open? My sister, she had a countdown marker where the Canadian Open was, and we agreed that I would try to get out there that day, come back home so we can travel as a family [Rory McIlroy] and seeing him win was, yeah, I want to get back there, I want to play championship golf. And at that time, I didn't – and, like, I wasn't even close to going out to play. I couldn't even play more than three holes at a time. Watching him win … inspired me a lot. ”
His first time back playing golf
“I came back, I played with some friends. And I'm playing the red tickets, which is the forward tee there. And it's a par-5, maybe like 400 yards. Maybe I hit my driver like 150 yards, and I just put it out there. Yeah, I got it there. I think I hit a 3-wood up to the green and I rubbed it. I blew my feet and made 25 for the first. I tell everybody that, you know, it was the top players, like, it wasn't, whatever you call it, like an official birdie from the tees that I should have been playing – It's surreal to go back there and play the game that I love, that I haven't been able to play for a long time and I do that and want more.
To his teammates and coach
“The way I think about it, obviously, like, I still think about them. And it's hard sometimes, but they – you know, I get to play more golf. That day we played it wasn't the greatest round that we all played. We thought we were going to go back the next day and play, but luckily, I did, but those opportunities were taken away from them. And, you don't know they wake up and wake up every day. I had the privilege of seeing my family and my friends every day and the privilege of playing golf competing in that way, that those opportunities were taken away from them, you know, from me and why this happened to me.
