US golfer Grayson Murray has died at the age of 30.

The PGA Tour says the two-time winner had withdrawn from this week's Charles Schwab Challenge event on Friday with illness after playing 16 holes of his second round.

PGA Tour Commissioner Jay Monahan says they were devastated to learn and are heartbroken to share that Murray passed away this morning.

No cause of death has yet been given.

Murray won three straight Junior World Championships from 2006 to 2008, and he qualified for the PGA Tour in 2016 AND 2017 at the age of 22 years.

He won his first title in 2017 at the Barbasol Championship.

He won a second career title at the Sony Open in Hawaii, which moved him to a career-high ranking of 46 in the world.
