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

People who watch golf know the story. If you don't watch it, don't enter the thread.

While I agree he is relatively unknown, he became known to those who watch golf when he discussed this openly at an tourney he was playing in. And apparently he found out they found his dad alive while playing a round.

But suicide is nothing to snicker at or just shrug your shoulders because you don't know them personally.

It's very difficult for the families and friends involved.

Every suicide may not be post worthy, but we're in a Major with this news being fresh in the golf world. So, it's post worthy.

This one is a bit of a bid deal. It isn't everyday that we follow a bizarre story...that ends in a suicide. Hurley was literally crying and asking for people to help find his dad on national TV a couple weeks ago. He found out that they found him his Texas or wherever, and now we find out that the guy went and killed himself. It's a pretty crazy story.
