He was then taken to a local hospital where tests disclosed that he had suffered a mild heart attack, officials said. Bohn was reported to be in a stable condition and will undergo further tests on Saturday.

Fellow PGA Tour player Tom Gillis tweeted: "Thoughts and prayers go out to Jason Bohn who had a heart attack this afternoon. Hang tough buddy."

Bohn, whose most recent PGA Tour win came at the 2010 New Orleans Classic, missed the cut at the Honda Classic after carding scores of 71 and 72.
