Cancer survivor Lyle set to return
Print Edition
Cancer survivor Jarrod Lyle will make his professional golf comeback at the Australian Masters in November ahead of a possible return to the PGA Tour.
The 31-year-old Australian, who was first diagnosed with leukemia at age 17, learned the disease had returned in March 2012, shortly after the birth of his first child.
After extensive treatment, including chemotherapy and a transplant of donor blood from umbilical cords, Lyle was told in June his body was clear of the disease.
Lyle, who has said he hopes to return to the PGA Tour for 2014, will join defending champion Adam Scott and America’s world No. 6 Matt Kuchar at the November 14-17 Australian Masters in Melbourne.
Meanwhile, Ryder Cup-winning captains Jose Maria Olazabal and Sam Torrance will take charge of the Continental Europe and Britain & Ireland teams, respectively, in The Seve Trophy in Paris from October 3-6.
Olazabal will lead Continental Europe for the second time, following a 2005 loss at Te Wynyard Club. He is back in team golf a year after captaining Europe to a memorable comeback win over the United States in last year’s Ryder Cup.
Torrance won the Ryder Cup in 2002 but will be captaining a Britain & Ireland in The Seve Trophy for the first time.
Both men were selected for the roles by current Ryder Cup captain Paul McGinley, who led Britain & Ireland to victory two years ago.
