6554b6be8c0d829a8bf63ae0c82cf121_link.pn PGA TOUR winner Grayson Murray passes away at 30

Grayson Murray, who won his second PGA TOUR title at this year’s Sony Open in Hawaii...

That's horrible to hear, 30 years old. I can only hope for his families sake at least it was from a medical issue and not something else. No cause of death listed anywhere, just articles that make it a point that he' was a  recovering alcoholic and battled with depression. RIP Grayson.

Tweets say that he was looking unwell and withdrew on the 17th on Friday. Sad to hear. Curious as to what the issue was, though.

Omg…what a tragedy. I wonder if he had an undiagnosed heart condition?

Was listening to Nance and Co report (I'm watching a delayed replay of today's round) and they reported that he had just had a string of bogies and when he finished the 17th he told his playing mates "I'm done" and went to the tent and WD.  Its sad that his life is over at 30 but maybe it speaks to the pressures that these guys deal with week in and week out.

Most likely  suicide as  he  had taken a  leave from the tour  before due to severe  depression. It  hits  many of  us for  many reasons

This is the  cutoff  part where he says  he  is taking a  medical leave. Godspeed

Let's not speculate on things like that.

Tragic. I can only imagine how the family must feel. There was a prominent lady golfer in my home town that won the State Am several times, coached the men's Jr College team and who was simply well thought of around here. Same thing.....battled depression and took her own life. Happened during COVID. For us that have never experienced serious depression it can be hard to understand. But it's a serious problem and happens too frequently.

I can not imagine what was going through his mind when he walked off the golf course and WD. Jesus, what a f'd up situation. His poor parents must be devastated. Sad thing he will be more remembered  for this than his Tour career. He was kind of an under the radar guy for me and maybe others. Not like his name is mentioned in likely winners of an event. I hope the network/ PGAT does a nice respectful piece on him. I'm out of the country so I can't view the event. I'm sure it's cast a dark cloud over this week's event. Two weeks now, two tragic stories. On a side note, I remember getting the annual suicide prevention classes every year in the Army. One thing a guy said was when you ask some one how they are doing, mean it. You never know when your words can make a positive difference. Well I'm rambling, just a horrible story. Take care all.

The  problem is  by not talking about  it keeps  it taboo. Hearing  what Murray himself said about depression he would  want it  talked about  openly so it  might  help someone else. Severe depression is an all consuming cancer.

I agree. This is one of those subjects that people are uncomfortable talking about. It's 2024 and it still feels stigmatized.

      Day 321: range session. Filmed while hitting to check things. Need a little more steep in the backswing, but good check to make sure I’m still on track. Also worked on sand shots for about 20 minutes.

      Have you talked with sprinters? Many would disagree that their sport is entirely physical. (I get what you're saying, but we're both speaking from a position, I think, of ignorance on this re: sprinting, or high-level basketball. What if you've missed your last four jump shots? How do you take the next one, or do you start to pass more?)

      Also, go back to what you were doing when you were here. Start slow, and build from there.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By WillieT ·

      Day 37 (6 Jun 25) - Friday men’s group shootout today - started off bogey-par, blew up three with lost ball triple.  Settled in to finish par-bogey, bogey-par-par-bogie 43 front. Opened the back with dbl followed by par, birdie, par, bogey, bogey, par, bogey, bogey to close with a 41 - 84 overall.  All that to cover key takeaways from today:  First - putting was solid with a total of 29 putts; Second - the two blow up holes were followed with pars (learning to leave it behind); Third - off the tee was solid (except for the blow-up on three); Fourth - of the 7 pars - 3 were up and down 1 putts and Fifth - out of position recovery type shots were about trusting the club to execute.  It was a good day - capped by closest to the pin on the par 3 12th hole….

      And of course, none of that should matter if I’m practicing because it shouldn’t be based on the results of contact. Took me about an hour and a half to calm down to have that realization.
