Scottie Scheffler emotional, Why PGA Tour stars hold a moment of silence
Scottie Scheffler, the world’s top-ranked golfer, was visibly moved during a poignant moment of silence at the Charles Schwab Challenge.
The PGA Tour paused to honour those who have died in military service on US soil, and this year, the solemn tribute also commemorated the life of fellow golfer Grayson Murray, who passed away on Saturday at the age of 30. Famed CBS broadcaster Jim Nantz captured the sentiment perfectly when he said, “There’s a bit of a tradition here over Memorial Day weekend at the Colonial, and it’s a moment of silence on this weekend.” American holiday special. Let’s be honest, on this day he has a dual purpose.
As naval helicopters flew overhead in ceremonial formation, Scheffler was seen wiping his eyes, clearly affected by the somber occasion. Just the other day, he offered his heartfelt condolences to Murray’s grieving family.
Obviously, the news hasn’t actually come out yet, but I’m thinking of his family and praying a lot for them all,” he said. I can’t imagine how difficult this time is. I’ve gotten to know Grayson a little better over the last six months or so. “Words cannot express how sad and tragic this is and our thoughts go out to his family.”
In a heartbreaking statement released by the PGA Tour, the grieving parents of golfer Grayson Murray announced the shocking news of his suicide. “We have spent the last 24 hours trying to come to terms with the fact that our son is gone,” Eric and Terry Murray said. It is super -realistic that we have to recognize this for ourselves, but to recognize this in the world. Nightmare.
MURRAYS has expanded his gratitude to the golf community for overwhelming support and said, “I would like to thank the PGA tours and golf all the world. “Life was not always easy for Grayson. He committed suicide, but he knows he is working peacefully now.”
In order to respect Malay, many competitors of PGA tours and caddies wore black and red ribbons in the last round of the Charleschwab Challenge. These recordings were Malay’s passion for Caroline’s Hararin Hurricane.
The Murray family has requested that players and caddies wear black or red ribbons as a show of support for Grayson during today’s final round of the Charles Schwab Challenge,” the PGA Tour said, alongside a selection of pins for participants.
“Grayson wore red and black on PGA Tour Sundays as a tribute for being a long-time fan of the NHL’s Carolina Hurricanes.”
The Korn Ferry Tour also held a moment of silence for Murray before the final round of the Visit Knoxville Open. The American golfer, who won three titles on the circuit before joining the PGA Tour, won the Barbasol Championship in 2017 and the Sony Open in January.
