It was on Friday that golf professional Tim Widing was robbed on the street in the Colombian capital Bogotá.
The Swede had just left a hospital - where he was being treated for stomach problems - when three men attacked him.
- I went and talked on the phone with my girlfriend.
Then I hear someone running behind me.
Two of the men aimed pistols directly at my head.
They took everything I had, says Widing.
Can not go home
He survived unscathed - but lost his phone, watch and money.
Most problematic, however, is that the passport was also stolen.
- That's the most important thing I have here.
Without it, I can not go anywhere.
Widing is now stuck in Colombia.
He gets help at the embassy, but still has no way home.
Or to Mexico, where according to the schedule will play next week.
"Very important to me"
The 24-year-old is making a career on the PGA Tour Latinoamérica - an undertour to the American PGA Tour.
Next weekend, the season will be decided with the important tour final in Tulum.
- It is the season's most important competition.
It determines what my future looks like and how I can play next season.
Golf is my job.
That's how I support myself.
So that's very important to me.
Whether Widing can get there is still unclear.
No matter what, he's happy to have survived unscathed.
- People have said that such robberies do not usually end well here.
They do not want witnesses.
So I'm happy to be alive.
But right now I just want to get out of here as soon as possible.
