Rory McIlroy reacted to the death of PGA Tour golfer Grayson Murray and said it shows how ‘vulnerable’ golfers can be
'It's incredibly sad, first and foremost, and I think we're all thinking of Grayson's family and hoping that they're doing OK and getting through this incredibly tough period,' McIlroy told reporters on Wednesday, May 29, ahead of the RBC Canadian Open, according to the BBC.
'I've had to realize that at times and I'm still sort of working my way through that in terms of not making golf the be-all and end-all for me. I think it slaps you in the face when something like that happens last week,” the Northern Irish golf pro added. 'It's incredibly sad and everyone has to remember out here that we go out and we do things that a lot of people can't, but at the end of the day we're still human beings,' said McIlroy. 'We're vulnerable and we're fragile, and I think if there's a lesson for anyone out there it's just to be kinder to each other.'
