Golf lost a good one in Jarrod Lyle today. A casual fan may not know his story so here's the Reader's Digest version -- got leukemia when he was a teen. Met Robert Allenby while in hospital and Allenby invited him for a round whenever he got out, which was a couple weeks later. Allenby befriends him, has him out to a golf outing, and encourages him throughout the battle. Lyle beats leukemia, works his way thru the Australasian Tour and gets all the way thru the Web.com Tour and then onto the PGA Tour. Then he has a relapse in 2012 just before the birth of his first daughter. He beats it again. Comes back to the Tour and plays in more events. Has yet another relapse in 2017...beats it one last time. Problem was that his body rejected all of the tools needed to fight it. He beat cancer 3 times and goes out a winner in everyone's eyes. He was lucky enough to spend his last week calling those around the golf world that he loved and played with and he was able to see the tributes paid to him at the Bridgestone Invitational as well as all of the fundraising being done to benefit his two young daughters.
When I think of Jarrod, I'll always remember the look on his face after he made this ace in Phoenix.

Terrible news, his ace at Phoenix was just amazing. I remember reading about his story because it showed another side of Robert Allenby that doesn't get reported much.

Here's a "fun" fact...
Elvis died 41 years ago today.
So, The King and The Queen died on the same day, 41 years apart.

RIP to my "Uncle" John...he was actually my stepdad's brother-in-law, but I got to grow to know him well since we lived two houses down from them outside of Altoona. He gave me my first job, taking care of the horses up at their barn. Hilariously irreverent--the first time my now-wife met my family about 12 years ago, he went out of his way to make things awkward in the funniest way possible. Asking about what kind of birth control options we were using, etc. One of a kind...beat throat cancer once but it returned and got him at 72. Happy he's not suffering through that hell anymore.
