JACKSON, Miss. — Champions Tour golfer Ken Green, who was injured in a recreational vehicle crash in Mississippi that killed his brother and girlfriend, will have his lower right leg amputated, his agent said Sunday.
Kevin Richardson said doctors will remove Green’s leg below the knee today after determining it would take two years of surgery to repair a limb that wouldn’t function well. Green also will need surgery to repair damage to a suborbital bone in his face. The 50-year-old has a cut about 6 inches long on the left side of his head.
Green, who won the first International at Castle Pines Golf Club in 1986, hopes to get through the ordeal by targeting a return to competitive golf with the help of a prosthetic limb.
