Major winner Justin Thomas has urged his fellow golfers to donate to an appeal set up for Jarrod Lyle's daughters after it was announced their father will begin end-of-life care.
Lyle, 36, is battling acute myeloid leukaemia for a third time and earlier this week his wife posted a message on his official Facebook page that said the Australian would start palliative care as he focuses on spending his remaining time with his family.

A page has since been set up on the website GoFundMe titled 'Jarrod Lyle's Girls', which Thomas and others on the PGA Tour have contributed to, taking the total over $42,000.
Thomas, who won the US PGA Championship 12 months ago, also posted a message on his Twitter account asking for more donations from his fellow professionals towards the fund for Lusi and Jemma.
The American said: "Hey PGA Tour family, please help me in supporting Jarrod Lyle's two girls by donating to this @gofundme page. Jarrod and his family deserve nothing but support in these times. Thanks!"
