Grayson Murray death: Paige Spiranac shares heartwarming story about ‘incredibly kind’ PGA Tour star after suicide
Golf glamor girl Paige Spiranac paid tribute to Grayson Murray after the two-time PGA winner died by suicide at age 30.
She took to social media Sunday morning to reflect on her fond memories with the world No. 58 after his family confirmed his passing.
‘I’ve known Grayson since our junior golf days and I’ll never forget how he always went out of his way to congratulate me on accomplishments whether big or small,’ the 31-year-old wrote on X.
‘He had always been incredibly kind to me. Unbelievably sad and my prayers go out to his friends and family,’ she added.
Murray turned pro in 2015, the same year Spiranac led the San Diego State University Aztecs to their first Mountain West Conference Championship.

The following year, she was invited to participate in the Dubai’s Ladies European Tour, however she failed to make the cut.
Meanwhile, Murray joined the PGA Tour, where won two major events, including January’s Sony Open in Hawaii.
On Saturday, the golfing world was left in shock when PGA Tour commissioner Jay Monahan confirmed the North Carolina native had died less than 24 hours after withdrawing from the Charles Schwab Challenge in Texas.
He had previously been open about his battles with depression, anxiety and alcoholism.
His parents, Eric and Terry Murray, later confirmed that their son had taken his own life.
