ST LOUIS—Australian golfers played with a heavy heart at the PGA Championship following the death of compatriot Jarrod Lyle, with the country’s top three players all paying tribute to the 36-year-old who died of cancer on Aug. 8.
Marc Leishman said he broke down on hearing the news on tournament eve, while Adam Scott said getting out onto the course on Aug. 9 had been a welcome distraction. Both played junior golf with Lyle.
