The 2017 Barbasol Championship winner posted the update on his Twitter page
PGA Tour pro Grayson Murray has taken to Twitter to provide an update as he continues on his road to recovery from alcoholism.
It comes after Murray, 27, also revealed via Twitter back in July that he has struggled to control his alcohol consumption since becoming a member of golf’s premier circuit five years ago.

In his initial post, the American was highly critical of the PGA Tour’s lack of support throughout this time.
Among other things, Murray wrote: “In a very short-term explanation, playing the PGA Tour is absolutely awful for me.
“I’ve struggled with injuries the last five years but those seem so minor to what I struggled with internally.
“I’m a f****** alcoholic that hates everything to do with PGA Tour life and that’s my scapegoat.
“The tour not once in my five years has reached out to me with advice or help on how to deal with the life of becoming a PGA Tour pro.
“I’m a recovering alcoholic. No, the PGA Tour didn’t force me to drink but the PGA Tour never gave me any help.
“In my five years on tour, not once have I had a request acknowledged by the commissioner or the PAC [Player Advisory Council] other than ‘we will get back to you’.”

Mickelson, an icon of the game, responded saying: “I’m sorry playing the tour has been so overwhelming and if I can help in any way I’d be happy to.
“It’s not an easy life for sure, and even winning every year can bring about other challenges. FYI, “we will get back to you” is the only response I’ve ever gotten too.”
