PGA Tour : Sony Open Leaderboard Results
As usual in playoffs there is triumph and tragedy, this time at the Sony Open Grayson Murray holed a 40 footer on the par 5 18th to beat Ben An who missed from 4 feet and 54 hole leader Keegan Bradley who missed a 17 footer.
Murray's battle with the bottle is being well documented, stints with shrinks and Betty Ford to battle his lack of self esteem after winning early as a 22 year old when he thought he was invincible came to a head when he crashed his motor scooter into on coming traffic at the Mexico Open last April, after 50 stitches in his face, his helmet saved his life.
He says he has been sober since, and obviously playing like he did as one of America's best juniors before turning pro. his winning score was 69 63 64 67 -17. It's his 2nd win, his first since 2017 worth $1,494,000 and 500 points.
It was a good week for the Canadians.
