Broadcaster Mark Rolfing returns after scary cancer battle (The Associated Press)

Mark Rolfing could not imagine anything keeping him away from a golf tournament at Kapalua.

Not even cancer.

''I cannot believe how good it is to hear my voice,'' Rolfing said Monday evening, repeating a standard greeting. That voice was filled with so much enthusiasm it sounded as though it could have been coming from the television instead of a telephone.

''And I cannot believe what kind of miracle I received.''

Five months after he was diagnosed with a rare form of cancer, Rolfing returns to his broadcasting duties for Golf Channel on Jan. 7 for the Hyundai Tournament of Champions, the winners-only event that kicks off the new year on the west tip of Maui.
