Earlier this week, Lyle's wife, Briony, said Lyle has decided to not seek further treatment so he can receive palliative care at home.

OAKVILLE, Ontario (AP) — Robert Garrigus made a birdie after a rock saved his ball from water and had a one-stroke lead at 9-under 63 on Thursday when play in the RBC Canadian Open was suspended because of dangerous weather.
"Hit it right in the middle of the water, and it hit a rock and bounced over the thing," Garrigus said about the break on the par-5 13th.
The American wasn't as fortunate on Nos. 10 and 17 at rain-softened Glen Abbey.
"Could have been 59 there if a couple putts didn't lip out," Garrigus said.
