Absolutely shocking and heartbreaking news. Raleigh native Grayson Murray has passed away at the age of 30. He had overcome a lot recently to get himself in a good position – not only in golf but in life https://t.co/tOWlaSJZHY

Holy shit
I spent a few minutes talking with Grayson at the Phoenix Open in February and he was very gracious with his time while being very thoughtful. This is heartbreaking. https://t.co/LnEyTfA4vy

Wow what horrible news.
I’ll never forget watching him drill that 40 foot putt earlier this year to win the playoff at The Sony Open.
He is a legend in my book for that. RIP Grayson. https://t.co/UcpdFjV1EW

Murray was a two-time winner on Tour. This included a victory in January at The Sony Open in Hawaii. He played in the Charles Schwab challenge, shooting a 68 on Thursday. Murray played the first 16 holes of Friday’s round but withdrew with two holes remaining.
