"Clock ticking on Lyle's comeback to PGA Tour"
/GolfChannel.com's Ryan Lavner files an update on Jarrod Lyle, making his first of ten final spots to secure $217,680 for his card after taking a medical leave to recover from his second cancer bout. Lyle has received a lot of support from many, including Robert Allenby.
His Frys.com Open got off to a good start (69) and then a tough second round.
Lyle's schedule gets tricky from here as he tries to Monday qualify in Las Vegas and has no desire to return to the new (old) Mayakoba stop, now a fall event where Lyle has played well. However, his history there isn't so hot and he's understandably passing on a trip to Mexico.
Why not tee it up at Mayakoba, he was asked, because he has a stellar record there, with three top-10s in his last four tries?
“It’s bad juju down there,” he said, a sad reminder that his past is never too far behind.
The Mexico event is where he found out that the cancer had returned, in 2012.
“I work in weird ways,” he said, “and I don’t want to go to a place where I’ve got nothing but bad memories.”
