Michael Campbell, the 2005 US Open champion, opens up about his life-changing decision to undergo heart surgery. Despite the risks, Campbell chose to proceed with the operation to alleviate his debilitating symptoms of atrial fibrillation. The procedure, known as cardiac ablation, involved freezing rogue nerves around his heart that were causing his heart to race out of rhythm. Campbell's recovery has been transformative, and he is now feeling like himself again. He is excited for the upcoming year, having been practicing hard and going to the gym. Campbell reflects on his famous victory over Tiger Woods at the 2005 US Open, stating that it is more famous than his actual win. He also shares a magical story from Pinehurst, where Woods was present during his trophy presentation, showing respect and admiration for Campbell's achievement.
