Murray spoke in January after winning the Sony Open about turning the corner in his life after battles with alcoholism and mental health

Grayson Murray holds the trophy after winning the Sony Open golf event on Jan. 14 at Waialae Country Club in Honolulu.Grayson Murray’s parents said Sunday their 30-year-old son took his own life, just one day after he withdrew from a PGA Tour event. The family asked for privacy and that people honour Murray by being kind to one another.

“It’s not easy,” Murray said immediately after winning. “I wanted to give up a lot of times. Give up on myself. Give up on the game of golf. Give up on life, at times.” Monahan flew to Fort Worth, Tex., to be with players. Many of them wore black-and-red pins on their caps Sunday in honour of Murray. Those are the colours of the Carolina Hurricanes, his favourite NHL team.

Grayson was a raw talent after taking up golf at age 8. He won his age division three straight years at the prestigious Junior World Championship in San Diego. But he struggled to fit in at college, going to Wake Forest, East Carolina and then Arizona State.
