The parents of 30-year-old professional golfer Grayson Murray have confirmed the athlete died by suicide after his body was found on Saturday morning, according to a statement from PGA Tour commissioner commissioner Jay Monahan.
The parents said,"Was Grayson loved? The answer is yes. By us, his brother Cameron, his sister Erica, all of his extended family, by his friends, by his fellow players and – it seems – by many of you who are reading this. He was loved and he will be missed." He said,"They were adamant that Grayson would want us to do so. As difficult as it will be, we want to respect their wishes."The 30-year-old golfer won three consecutive Callaway Junior World Championships and became the top-ranked golfer in his age group. When Murray was 16 he made the first cut on the Korn Ferry Tour, and became the second-youngest player to achieve the victory.
