On Tuesday, Hunter Mahan and his wife, Kandi, hosted the Mahan Foundation Match Play at Trinity Forest Golf Club, an event to help raise funds and awareness for acute myeloid leukemia research.
The event and cause hold a special place in the family's hearts. Earlier this year, Katie Enloe, wife of SMU men's golf coach Jason Enloe, was diagnosed with AML. Katie and Kandi are sisters, and Jason and Hunter are longtime golfing buddies. The Mahans met during a double date with the Enloes two days after the Enloes were married.
"We knew a few weeks [after Katie's diagnosis] we wanted to do an event to help with her cause and help the cause with so many suffering from this cancer," Mahan told reporters before Tuesday's event.
