The University of Kentucky has announced that sophomore men’s golfer Cullan Brown has been diagnosed with osteosarcoma, a form of bone cancer, in his left thigh.
Treatment for the disease will require chemotherapy and surgery, which is forcing Brown to withdraw from UK and not compete during the 2019-20 season.
“My family and I are immensely appreciative of the outpouring of kind words, well-wishes, love and prayers we have received in the last few weeks from family, friends and the Big Blue Nation,” Brown said. “It certainly will be a tough year, but nothing that can’t be handled thanks to the amazing support group I have behind me at all times.
