Associated PressHONOLULU — The Sony Open turned solemn Tuesday morning when dozens of players, caddies and PGA Tour officials joined Grayson Murray’s family along the shore behind the 16th green at Waialae to pay tribute to the defending champion who took his own life four months later. The celebration of his life took place one day after the PGA Tour announced the launch of the Grayson Murray Foundation, which is geared toward raising awareness and support of mental health and addiction. “Grayson touched the heart of so many by sharing his own mental health challenges,” his parents, Eric and Terry Murray, said in a statement. “Grayson was intent on using his position as a PGA Tour player to help others.. We honor him as we carry forward his mission.” ___ AP golf: https://apnews.com/hub/golf
