Davis Riley leads Scottie Scheffler by 4 at somber Colonial after the news of player's death
Davis Riley has a four-shot lead over hometown favorite and Masters champion Scottie Scheffler going into the final round at Colonial
FORT WORTH, Texas (AP) — Davis Riley was finishing a 4-under 66 for a four-shot lead over surging Scottie Scheffler at Colonial while PGA Tour Commissioner Jay Monahan conducted interviews about the death of two-time tour winner Grayson Murray.
Another week, another dose of unsettling news off the course, this time at the Charles Schwab Challenge.
Scheffler's arrest during the PGA Championship a week ago was triggered by an accident that killed a pedestrian. This death hit closer to home for the players, and Monahan quickly flew to Texas after getting word Saturday that the 30-year-old Murray had died.
Murray, who dealt with alcohol and mental health issues in the past, withdrew late in his second round at Colonial on Friday, and Monahan was told of his death a little less than 24 hours later.
