Justine Reed, wife and sometimes caddie of PGA Tour pro Patrick Reed, suffered a grand mal seizure Tuesday at the Ritz-Carlton Golf Resort in Naples, Fla.

Justine was quickly rushed to Naples Community Hospital where she is recovering. Patrick Reed withdrew from Wednesday's pro am at the Shark Shootout to be with his wife and released the following statement.

"I withdrew from today's pro-am to be with my wife, Justine, who suffered a grand mal seizure (Tuesday) afternoon while in the bathtub. We are really fortunate that she is OK and lucky that I was in the room with her to save her from drowning. I am so grateful to the paramedic team, IMG and the doctors at Naples Community Hospital for their support and care during an extremely difficult time."

Hope she's OK. Those types of seizures are sometimes associated with strokes, I believe. Scary for someone so young.

Pretty fortunate that he was there to save her from drowning. Hope all is well with her.

Also very fortunate that she had one of the world's top 5 EMT's in the room when it happened.

Best wishes for a full recovery.

oh man...that is no good...

i had a grand mal a few years ago (related to a small bleed in my brain) and i was conscious for the first 2 minutes of it.  unbelievably scary.  so so fortunate that he was there, she most likely wouldve drowned in that tub.
