Jarrod Lyle Remembrance After His Battle With Leukemia.

The signature moment of Jarrod Lyles all-too-brief PGA Tour career was the hole-in-one he made at the 2011 Waste Management Phoenix Open.

Thats when Waste Management Phoenix Open Tournament Director Chance Cozby began to put into motion a plan to honour Lyle, as well as the others who have made an ace at the famed 16th hole.

Cozby got the idea after watching the shot repeatedly replayed and hearing broadcaster Jim Nantz mention how the hole-in-one was worth remembering.

That pushed Cozbys mind into action.

Jim said he was surprised they hadnt done anything on the 16th hole to commemorate his hole-in-one, and I started thinking about what we could do to honour Jarrod and celebrate him, Cozby said.

There will be a replica of Lyles Titleist staff bag stuffed with replica clubs, including the 8-iron he used that morning.

A yellow bucket hat, like the one Lyle wore later in his career, will be draped on top.
