JACKSON, Miss. (AP) -- Pro golfer Ken Green's brother and girlfriend were killed in a a recreational vehicle accident in which Green also was hurt.

Green, a five-time winner on the PGA Tour, was driving on Interstate 20 near Hickory, Miss., on Monday when the right front tire of his RV blew. Green was unable to control the vehicle and ran down an embankment before hitting a large oak tree.

Mississippi Department of Public Safety spokesman Jon Kalahar said on Tuesday that passengers William Y. Green and Jean Marie Hodgin were killed in the wreck. William Green was Ken Green's brother and caddie. Hodgin was the golfer's girlfriend.

Kalahar said Ken Green was not wearing his seat belt. He was flown to University Medical Center in Jackson for treatment with unspecified injuries, and was listed in good condition on Tuesday.

Sgt. Malachi Sanders of the Mississippi Highway Patrol said a German shepherd also was killed.

Sanders said it was unclear if the passengers were wearing seat belts. He described the embankment the RV traveled over as "a small cliff."

"The whole front of the RV was totally demolished," Sanders said.

Green turned pro in 1980. He has played on the Champions Tour for the last two seasons. His best finish this year was seventh at the AT&T Champions Classic in March.

His final years on the PGA Tour were marred by mental illness that made it difficult for Green to concentrate while playing and led him to the verge of suicide. Now 50, Green has since spoken publicly about his ordeal.
