Golf commentator Jim Nantz loves an emotional story. Sometimes it seems to get in the way of the golf, but other times his stories are simply remarkable. Like this one concerning American golfer Erik Compton.

At just 35-years, Compton has already had two heart transplants and while eating dinner at last week’s PGA Tour Memorial Tournament he struck up a conversation with the waitress – who turned out to be the aunt of the previous owner of the heart that is now inside his chest.

Simply incredible.
