Heartbroken PGA reacts to death of Grayson Murray, who died day after withdrawing from Colonial

The PGA Tour expressed grief after the death of Grayson Murray, who died Saturday morning one day after he withdrew from the Charles Schwab Challenge at Colonial.

Murray, 30, was a two-time PGA Tour winner.

“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 said. “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.”

“It’s a sad day on the PGA Tour,” CBS’ Jim Nantz told viewers. “With heavy hearts, we’re going to cover a golf tournament.”

Peter Malnati played with Murray for the first two days at Colonial and shared his thoughts with CBS Sports.

“It’s so competitive out here. We all want to beat each other,” he said through tears. “And then something like this happens and you realize we’re all just humans.”
