CC3220R: Watchdog: MCU resets before handler is executed

Hello,

Im using a WDT in my application code, and its initialized as shown below

    Watchdog_Params params;

    Watchdog_init();

    Watchdog_Params_init(&params);

    params.callbackFxn = watchdog_callback;

    params.resetMode = Watchdog_RESET_ON;

    g_watchdogHandle = Watchdog_open(CONFIG_WATCHDOG_0, &params);

    if (g_watchdogHandle == NULL) {

        // Error opening Watchdog

        UART_PRINT("Error: Watchdog_open()\n");

        while (1);

    }

    // Set timeout period to 10000 ms

    uint32_t tickValue = Watchdog_convertMsToTicks(g_watchdogHandle, 10000);

    Watchdog_setReload(g_watchdogHandle, tickValue);

As you can see, Im adding a callback function watchdog_callback that I want to execute when the WDT timer expires. However, when I trigger a WDT timeout, the handler watchdog_callback starts to execute but stops in middle of the handler, seems like the MCU is reset before the whole callback function is executed. Any idea what I'm doing wrong?
