Grayson Murray recently spoke candidly about his win at the 2024 Sony Open on Sunday, January 14. The American golfer defeated Keegan Bradley and Byeong Hun An in a playoff to win his second PGA Tour event.
After all four rounds, Murray, Bradley, and Hun An tied for first place with a score of less than 17. Fortunately, Murray made a birdie on the 18th hole, while the other two players settled for pars, giving the former a win.
The 30-year-old golfer opened up about his performance and what was going through his mind at the moment when he realized he was going to win the tournament.
During the press conference, Grayson Murray said:
"I mean that putt was looking good the whole way. And I'm a sucker for some some good celebrations. I love making big-time moments and I'm never going to back down from a celebration. "
Murray went on to talk about Hun-An, who finished fourth at the 2024 Sentry Open before the Sony Open and has been in good form.
"Ben, I'm seeing there; he's going through his full routine, and look confident, and maybe just miss a hair" he continued. "And you never want to see that. You don't want to win on a miss putt like that. But I think he finished third or second last week or somewhere top five. So he's obviously playing really good golf and I know his win is right around the corner."
Bradley and Hun-An settled in a tie for second place, followed by Carl Yaun, who finished in fourth place in a two-way tie with Russell Henley.
