HONOLULU – Winning the Simmons Bank Open in Nashville for the Snedeker Foundation was a huge weight off Grayson Murray, and it secured his return to the PGA Tour.
You don’t want to ask him to take the trophy he won in September.
He said, during his post-round news conference at the Sony Open, in Hawaii, that he had been dealing with a back problem for a few months.
It begs the question, how did he actually injure himself?
He said later, “I got injured holding the trophy.” “I have bulging herniated disc. It’s okay, I had two shots and they helped. Now, I just take Aleve. “It’s something you should monitor.”
Murray has lost weight since he became sober eight month ago, but is still not a shrinking violet. The trophy is a guitar strapped with a golf club, one of the coolest awards in the sport …”It weighed 45 pounds and I held it for an hour to take pictures.
Murray only has one PGA Tour win to his name, the 2017 Barbasol Championship. If Murray wins the Sony Open this Sunday, he might consider having his caddie take the trophy.
