Golf analyst David Feherty broke three ribs and punctured his lung when he was hit by a truck while riding his bicycle near his home in Dallas. He expects to be fully recovered in time for the Masters. Feherty said Friday he was returning from his morning bicycle ride a day earlier when a truck hauling irrigation equipment pinched him into the curb and he was struck by the side mirror. "He didn't want to hit the car on the left, so he ran over the cyclist on the right," Feherty said. "I don't remember a whole lot about it. There was a lady on the scene quickly, keeping me conscious. The next thing I know, I'm at Baylor Medical Center, the only hospital in the United States that doesn't have GOLF CHANNEL." He then asked who was leading the Arnold Palmer Invitational. He has taken up cycling recently, and said last year after riding along 17 Mile Drive at Pebble Beach, "It's actually 28 miles." He has been injured a few dozen times riding his bike, but he described those accidents as "pilot error." Feherty said he would be hospitalized for at least a few more days, and that he had a tube sticking out of his chest. "But it's not as bad as it sounds," he said.

It didn't do anything to his brain? That's the part that needed repair.

When he's recovered pack him off to Blackwater for more rehab.
