Millionaire Colin Davies can't thank Lee Westwood enough.
The 41-year-old golfer reportedly saved Davies from drowning while in Barbados. Davies suffers from Parkinson’s disease and admits he shouldn't have entered the water in the first place.
“I have Parkinson’s disease so to enter the sea was foolhardy or stupid. As soon as I entered I realized I was in trouble. My legs wouldn’t move, and my wife Linda was out of earshot," he told England's Birmingham Mail.
That's when a helping hand stepped in.
“The family next to us on the beach heard my cry and within a second a muscular male grabbed me and, with tremendous but gentle care, got me back to my lounge bed," he said. "I was so shocked by the whole affair that I didn’t convey my heartfelt thanks to the Samaritan who had rescued me."
The Samaritan just happened to be Westwood. He responded to a fan through Twitter about the incident. The fan posted a photoshopped picture of Westwood as a Baywatch rescuer.
@AndrewHarding9 don't get baywatch images in your head Andrew! The gentleman was struggling to get back up the beach and I helped him out.
