Former PGA TOUR player Jarrod Lyle is potentially facing his third fight against leukemia after being readmitted to hospital in Australia. Lyle, 35, is resting at Royal Melbourne Hospital as doctors undertake a series of tests to determine the exact nature of his illness. “A routine blood test conducted earlier this week returned abnormal results and Jarrod was immediately admitted to hospital and placed under the care of his previous medical specialist. He will remain there at least until a full diagnosis has been made,� a family statement said. “He has undergone several tests, and will have several more in the coming days. At this point, we have not yet received complete test results, so there is no definitive diagnosis and we do not have an agreed treatment plan. “We cannot speculate about anything until we get more information. We are grateful to be surrounded by incredibly supportive people and we truly appreciate your consideration and respect for our privacy at this time.� Lyle was first diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia as a 17-year-old and was declared in remission two years later in 2000 from where he embarked on a successful professional golf career. A two-time winner on the Web.Com Tour Lyle also spent several seasons on the PGA TOUR and was in the form of his career when he suffered a relapse in 2012 and fought for his life at the same time his first daughter, Lusi, was born. Having beaten cancer a second time, the Victorian returned to the TOUR in 2015 to use his medical exemption to win back a TOUR card but fell short. He had since returned to his native Australia to be permanently with his wife Briony, Lusi and second daughter Jemma, born last year. Lyle remains determined to win the fight for a third time should it come to it. “Just another bump in my road. I will fight like no other,� he told PGATOUR.com. Lyle had been planning to play events on the PGA Tour of Australasia and pro-ams around his home country, but will now take an indefinite break from his playing career.
