Australian golfer Jarrod Lyle has played 18 holes for the first time in 14 months as he continues to recover from a second battle with leukemia.
The 31-year-old Lyle tweeted late on Saturday he was “absolutely knackered now after 75 hits at The Sands Torquay … hit a couple goodies”.
The Sands is a private ocean-side course a few hours’ drive from his hometown of Shepparton, Victoria.
Lyle, who was first diagnosed with leukemia at the age of 17, learned it had returned in March 2012, shortly after the birth of his first child, a daughter.
He underwent chemotherapy and received a transplant of donor blood from umbilical cords.
He says he hopes to return to the US PGA Tour next year.
