Harman said Tuesday that Cathy Dowdy, a family friend, has been in a coma since attempting to save Harman's 6-year-old son from a rip current

Brian Harman asked for prayers for the woman who is now in a coma after helping to save his son from drowning.

A few weeks ago, on Sunday, Oct. 13, Harman was in China, and his wife took their kids with family friend Cathy Dowdy to Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida, for some vacation time. Harman’s six-year-old son was boogie boarding with a friend when a rip current pulled him out, and that’s when Dowdy sprung into action.

Brian Harman ends his season with a heavy heart as a family friend remains in a coma from a near drowning while trying to save the golfer's son.

Harman said when he was in China last month, his wife and kids went to Ponte Vedra Beach, Fla., for vacation. Harmon's 6-year-old son was bodyboarding in the ocean when he was ripped out to sea by a strong current.
