Notah Begay III – TV analyst for The Golf Channel and NBC Sports – is recovering from a heart attack he suffered last week in Dallas.

The Golf Channel said Tuesday the 41-year-old Navaho from New Mexico is expected to make a full recovery.

Begay – who has a history of heart disease in the family – was taken to Methodist Hospital in Dallas Thursday and was treated with a stent inserted to unblock his right coronary artery.

Begay lauded Dr. Mark Jenkins and the care he received at Methodist Hospital in Dallas.

“I anticipate a full recovery and feel lucky to be at home resting with my family,” Begay said in a statement. “I appreciate the outpouring of well wishes I’ve received from family, friends and fans, and I will be back covering golf once I’m fully recovered.”

Considering everything my man @NotahBegay3 has overcome and achieved in his life, bouncing back from a health scare will not be a problem.
