Grayson Murray 'had a lot of demons', admits golf reporter following PGA Tour star's suicide

Over the past year he had turned things around, however, by getting sober, requalifying for the PGA Tour and winning January's Sony Open, his first victory in seven years.

That sentiment was echoed by NBC Sports and Golf Channel reporter Todd Lewis, who saw Murray throughout his career.

'Early on in Grayson's career, he had a lot of demons,' said Lewis.

'He battled alcoholism. He battled depression , battled anxiety.

'He realized that it was okay to not be okay and that gave him the comfort to try and get counseling to put some positive people around him.'

Murray's death came a day after he unexpectedly pulled out of the second round of the Charles Schwab Challenge in Fort Worth, Texas. He had told his playing partners he was feeling unwell.

He was then found inside his $800,000 residence around 11am ET on Saturday, according to local police.
