Really sad day and even more so given his age, his fight and that he leaves behind a wife and two young children.

As an avid golfer and watcher of the game I followed his career closely. I played in a pro am a number of years back that he played in at Yering Meadows. From memory he won and shot 66 or something incredible. What stood out though was his willingness to engage with the hackers and for a world class talent seemed happy to be there.

Like most my favourite Lyle memory is the one below. An ace at the most famous or should that be infamous hole on the PGA tour. The 16th at Phoenix, the party hole. I think this moment sums this guy up, the unbridled excitement is just priceless.

 
I am on Betfair.

So me and a mate back Win/Top5/10/20 for 10%, 20%, 30% and 40% of stake respectively for 6 golfers.

The for a lesser amount 25/25/25/25 on a few roughies.

I can't believe nobody has mentioned Speith.

JB Holmes just can't close it out when the pressure is on in the big tournaments.

No, he can't. But if he finishes top 20, it's a nice earn. Top 10 and it's good gravy.

Also, with Betfair, it's about getting them into good positions and laying off so you win either way.

Tony Lynn 15 Gary Woodland equal lead!!!

Think I'll cash in on his winning ticket, take the coin, and let the Top 5/10/20 bets on him ride.
