Report: Compton considering 'packing it in'

Having lost his PGA Tour card for the first time since 2012, two-time heart transplant recipient Erik Compton is reportedly mulling retirement.

Compton was 61st in earnings through the first three events of the Web.com Tour Finals, and when the season finale was canceled because of Hurricane Matthew earlier this week, the 36-year-old lost his final opportunity to retain his playing status. According to a Golf Digest report, the lack of recent results has led Compton to ask himself some tough questions.

"I'm thinking about packing it in. I just can't get it done," Compton said after a T-24 finish at the Nationwide Children's Hospital Championship, where he entered the final round tied for sixth.
