World Golf Hall of Fame member Jan Stephenson has been diagnosed with stage 3 breast cancer. Organizers of the Jan Stephenson Crossroads Foundation released the news on Thursday, noting that the 71-year-old will begin a regimen of chemo and radiation therapy over the next two weeks.
“It means so much to me for all my friends and family to lend so much support,” said Stephenson in the release. “I have had some negative challenges in my career and managed to survive. This is just another tough hole that is ‘Uphill and Against the Wind.’ See you on my next downhill and downwind hole!”
