Not Cancer Related: Jarrod Lyle Taking Break From Tour
/An AAP report explains Jarrod Lyle's situation as he tries to keep his card after his second bout with cancer. And with 10 more starts to make enough money to secure his status, Lyle says he's taking the summer off to work on his game for a fall return.
Most importantly, Lyle's statement says this is game related and not a health issue.
"I need to stress that this decision has nothing to do with my recent illness - I am still healthy and cancer-free," he said.
"As the year progressed, it has become increasingly obvious that I am simply not in a position to compete on the PGA Tour.
"My goal every single week out here, just like the rest of the field, is to play my best and to be competitive.
"Unfortunately I haven't been in real contention in any of the 10 events I have played so far this season.
"At the moment, I am out here making up the numbers."
