Lyle honored with sand sculpture at Wyndham

Jarrod Lyle passed away last week at the age of 36 after losing his third battle with leukemia.

And after a PGA Championship filled with tributes to the Australian, the Wyndham Championship found their own way to keep his legacy alive at the North Carolina Tour stop ... a sand sculpture.

Next to the Wyndham Championship and PGA Tour logos carved into the sand on site at Sedgefield Country Club is Lyle's name and "Leuk the Duck" mascot. The duck has become synonymous with Challenge, an organization that supports kids with cancer.

Fellow Aussie Stuart Appleby tweeted out a video of the display:

#WyndhamChampionship what a nice thing to do for a champ of a fella pic.
