DUBLIN, Ohio — The Memorial Tournament honored Grayson Murray in a pre-tournament ceremony as the two-time PGA Tour winner who died by suicide on May 25 had qualified for the tournament field by virtue of his Sony Open victory in January.
Murray, 30, who died at his Florida home after withdrawing from the Charles Schwab Challenge, was also exempt for next week’s U.S. Open at Pinehurst No. 2 as he was among the top 60 in the Official World Golf Ranking as of May 20.
The OWGR in a statement said it is still listing Murray “for the time being as a golf community mourns his loss.”
