DALLAS (AP) - Golf analyst David Feherty (FAIR'-uh-tee) broke three ribs and punctured his lung when he was hit by a truck while riding his bicycle near his Dallas home.

He expects to be fully recovered in time for the Masters.

Feherty says he was returning from his morning bicycle ride yesterday when a truck hauling irrigation equipment pinched him into the curb. He was hit by the side mirror.

Feherty is regarded by many as golf's most comical TV analyst, a former European tour winner and Ryder Cup player from Northern Ireland who has been working for CBS Sports since 1997.

I would like to know what the Dallas cops do about this?

They probably do a simple investigation... proclaim that "the cyclists swerved" or that the motorist "just didn't see the cyclist" and then proclaim that the motorist is suffering from deep remorse...

At least that is how such things are usually handled. :rolleyes:

I'm really glad Feherty is ok. He's terrifically funny and a wonderful gold analyst.
