Hunter Mahan Withdraws From Canadian Open With 2-Stroke Lead When Wife Goes Into Labor

Twitter reaction, and one song lyric sung to the tune of Johnny Cash’s Jackson, on Hunter Mahan withdrawing from the Canadian Open on Saturday while he had a two-stroke lead.

Oh we got married in a fever, hotter than a pepper sprout/
I’m leading the Canadian Open, but looks like I’m gonna have to drop out/
Oh my wife’s now in labor/
The kid will be our first/
So Snedeker’s now your leader/
Hey, it could be worse

If Hunter Mahan had withdrawn nine months ago, he wouldn't have had to withdraw today. #Science #BabyTalk

Faith in my Tweepdom remains intact! Nearly everyone in timeline says he'd do same thing as Hunter Mahan. Family 1st. You rock, guys ;)

Kandi was on the way to a Dallas hospital with a family member when she phoned Hunter's agent, Chris Armstrong, who was at Glen Abbey.

Either Hunter Mahan's wife is going into labor or that was one hell of a prank call.
