What started as a promising day for Grayson Murray ended disappointingly.
During the first round of the 2022 Barbasol Championship at the Champion Trace course at Keene Trace Golf Club in Nicholasville, Kentucky, Murray walked off the course and withdrew before finishing his first round Thursday. A tournament official cited back injuries as the reason for Murray’s withdraw.
The decision comes as sort of a surprise, as Murray, who started on the 10th hole, was 5-under thru 6 holes, including an eagle on the par-5 15th. He made birdie on the three holes before, and he made the turn at 5-under.
