“We watched the golfers putt. In the middle of the 11th hole, they started to walk away. Well, I noticed a bag in the middle of the fairway where I had seen someone standing before and I thought that was weird.” So I saw someone running down the street,” Bunn told ABC 10 Sacramento.

Bunn told ABC 10 that ran to the caddy and found him without vital signs.

“He was face down. I turned him over, took the golf bag off him,” Bunn said. “You know, I put him on his back, heard any vital signs. He wasn’t breathing, no heart rate, no pulse, nothing like that.
