Hunter Mahan was scheduled to play this week’s Quicken Loans National. He returned home, instead, to be with his family during a difficult time. His sister-in-law, Katie Enloe, was recently sent home from the hospital to spend her final days alongside friends and family. She has been fighting acute myeloid leukemia since January. PGA TOUR players are showing their support by donning orange ribbons at the Quicken Loans National. The Instagram feed @katiestrongtx has provided updates on Katie since her diagnosis. A post from earlier this week reads: “It is time for our warrior Katie to rest easy and spend time with family. On Friday, her 3 beloved doctors that have cared for her throughout this process, all together recommended that Katie return home to Dallas. Her mind, body, & spirit have fought long & hard, & these doctors have provided their best possible treatment plans…. but this leukemia continues to come back bigger & stronger. Katie will now spend her last days at home, with her girls, her husband, & her family by her side.â€� Katie Enloe is married to two-time Web.com Tour winner Jason Enloe, who now serves as the head men’s golf coach at SMU. The couple has two young daughters. Katie is the sister of Mahan’s wife, Kandi.

This is what family is for, to support each other.â€� Acute myeloid leukemia is the same cancer that TOUR player Jarrod Lyle is fighting for the third time.
