Sad to hear it ended that way.
His dad went missing a couple of weeks ago. Billy asked for help finding him in a post round interview. He was found in Texas and said he was ok, but didn't say why he was there. Unfortunately this is the result.

That's so awful. You may want to include the original story in the OP for all that don't know, but I can't imagine how he feels right now. Prayers out to him.

Unfortunately, I wasn't surprised when I heard the news. Based on what happened a couple of weeks ago, it was apparent at least to me that he had some problems/issues.
Condolences to the Hurley family.

Willard Hurley Jr., the father of PGA Tour player Billy Hurley III, was found dead in Loudoun County, Va., from a self-inflicted gunshot wound, Hurley III confirmed in a statement Thursday. Hurley III learned of his father’s death on Wednesday afternoon.
"I want to thank the PGA Tour, the greater golf media and all those who provided their support, prayers and encouragement," Hurley III said in the statement. "The PGA Tour community has always taken great care of us, and my family and I are very grateful for that. As soon as I am able, I will return to golf and will provide further comment."
A spokesman with the Loudoun County Sheriff's Office said the case remains under investigation as an apparent suicide.

Oh man that's tough to hear. I remember watching his interview after his round when all that went down. He was asking his dad to come home and that they all loved him. Damn that is sad.

I didn't downvote, but people commit suicide every day and this is a pretty much unknown athlete.

What the hell, this is so sad. The original story was so weird and left a bad taste in my mouth. After seeing Hurley cry out on national television, this is a punch to the gut. Damn I feel bad for him.
