PGA Tour player Grayson Murray, 30, dies after withdrawing from tournament
PGA golfer Grayson Murray died on Saturday at the age of 30, shortly after withdrawing in the middle of this weekend's tournament.
Murray played 16 holes in the second round Charles Schwab Challenge before withdrawing due to an "illness," according to the Tour — he shot a two-under 68 on Thursday.
"We were devastated to learn — and are heartbroken to share — that PGA TOUR player Grayson Murray passed away this morning. I am at a loss for words," PGA Tour commissioner Jay Monahan wrote in a statement.

"The PGA TOUR is a family, and when you lose a member of your family, you are never the same. We mourn Grayson and pray for comfort for his loved ones."
Monahan added that he reached out to Murray's parents to offer condolences, and the tour has provided grievance counselors.
"They asked that we continue with tournament play," Monahan said of Murray's parents. "They were adamant that Grayson would want us to do so. As difficult as it will be, we want to respect their wishes."
POLICE OFFICER WHO ARRESTED SCOTTIE SCHEFFLER HAS BEEN SUSPENDED, REPRIMANDED MULTIPLE TIMES: REPORT
Murray bogeyed his final three holes before withdrawing — he was the 58th-ranked player in the world.
He had two wins in his career on tour, including this year's Sony Open in Hawaii in a playoff against Keegan Bradley and An Byeong-hun. His first came at the 2017 Barbasol Championship.
Murray had battled depression and anxiety earlier in his life, and also sought treatment for alcohol abuse — in January, he said he had been sober for several months, according to NBC Sports.
No cause of death has been released.
He made the cut in both major championships this year, finishing last week's PGA Championship T43.
He also finished T10 at the Wells Fargo Championship earlier this month.
