Scott McCarron got to ring the bell on Friday.
McCarron, 61, an 11-time PGA Tour Champions winner, rang the bell at Duke Medical Center in Durham, North Carolina, to signify that he is cancer free. Diagnosed March 23 with Diffused Large B cell Lymphoma, he had been undergoing daily radiation for the previous 10 days, making 5-hour roundtrips to his home.
"Thank you to all the doctors and nurses that took great care of me," he wrote in a social media post. "Thank you to all my friends, family and everyone that sent prayers my way. I'm forever grateful. Now back to golf!"
McCarron was diagnosed with Stage Two B-Cell lymphoma after coming down with a sore throat. Fortunately, he took it seriously because a doctor's visit led to a trip to an ear, nose and throat doctor, who suggested a biopsy.
"Most of us are pretty stubborn and don't do anything for a while," he told Golfweek. "As soon as the thing showed up, I said, 'I don't like the looks of it.'"
