Pinnacle Bank Championship presented by Aetna - Round Two
OMAHA, NEBRASKA - AUGUST 12: Erik Compton walks on the 18th green during the second round of the Korn Ferry Tours Pinnacle Bank Championship presented by Aetna at The Club at Indian Creek on August 12, 2022 in Omaha, Nebraska.
Compton’s wife then reportedly left home and called the police from a friend’s house. Compton was arrested on Saturday and was officially charged with felony strong-armed robbery and misdemeanor battery. He was later released on bond. Compton has made 168 starts in his PGA Tour career, though he’s never won a tournament. He has five top-10 finishes to his name, including a runner-up finish at the U.S. Open in 2014, and his career earnings sit just shy of $5 million. Compton has played in two Tour events this season, most recently at the Charles Schwab Challenge in May where he finished T63. He finished T29 at the Corales Puntacana Championship in March, too.
Compton was diagnosed with viral cardiomyopathy as a child — a condition that inflames the heart and prohibits it from effectively pumping blood — and has undergone two heart transplants, first in 1992 and again in 2008.
