Jeff Overton’s wife says that the American is recovering after a “life-threatening infection in his spine. On Sunday, Christina Overton detailed her husband’s struggles in a Facebook post on his 34th birthday.

She posted, “After several months off due to a herniated disc, Jeff underwent a minimally invasive procedure in hopes of improving the area. Through the procedure he acquired a life-threatening infection in his spine, forcing an emergency surgery.”

Overton last played on the PGA Tour in February and was a part of the US Ryder Cup team that lost 14½ to 13½ to Europe in 2010. His wife added, “After a month in the hospital and acute rehab centre, many nights of excruciating pain and uncertainty, two months of IV antibiotics and home health care, we are finally seeing light at the end of the tunnel.’’

Overton tweeted: “These last few months have been surreal and it certainly makes you appreciate life and health.”
