Australian golfer Jarrod Lyle says he has some hopes of returning to the U.S. PGA Tour in 2014 if he continues his current recovery from a second battle with leukemia.
The 31-year-old Lyle, who was first diagnosed with the disease at 17, learned it had returned shortly after the recent birth of his first child, a daughter.
He has since undergone chemotherapy, has received a transplant of donor blood from umbilical cords and is making a strong recovery.
He told reporters Tuesday ''I do want to get back to golf at some stage but I guess if I never hit another shot I'll be happy. As long as I've got my health and as long as I've got my family I'm a happy boy.''
