Pros pay tribute to Lyle on 16th tee Saturday at Scottsdale

Waste Management Phoenix Open officials and PGA Tour pros paid tribute to Jarrod Lyle on Saturday at TPC Scottsdale.

Lyle, who died last August at age 36 after a two-decade battle with leukemia, had his most memorable moment on the PGA Tour at TPC Scottsdale's stadium par-3 16th. It was there during the third round of the 2011 Phoenix Open that Lyle recorded a hole-in-one from 150 yards with an 8-iron.

Eight years later, tournament officials placed a replica of Lyle's bag and clubs on the 16th tee next to a plaque commemorating his ace.
