Yeah I was fearing the same when I saw the news, he famously talked about his issues with depression didn't he?

Indeed he has. The fella talked openly not just about his battles with mental health, but also his previous treatment for alcoholism. Terribly sad, whatever the circumstances, and the interview yesterday with one of his playing partners was a truly tough watch.

Antwerp - could be inching towards a play off...

Golf balls defy physics at the most inopportune moment.....

Cracking up n down on 17 for Elvira to steady the ship. Good win.

Congrats to Nacho Elvira! Gutty effort to get it done.

Finally, Finally........ Someone from Spain I can root for.

Family have confirmed that he took his own life. Very sad.

Heartbreaking for his family and friends.

Jesus, that is awful. Poor bloke.

 

[Arthur Wedge]

Really is very sad - such an unnecessary loss of life. Thoughts with his family

 

[Fore Right]

So many questions.
The track record of mental heath issues, depression and alcoholism makes me think he may have committed suicide (Just my worst thought, no reporting this has happened and I hope im wrong for his family)

But then he pulled out of the tournament citing illness which leaves so many unknowns for a 30 year old guy to lose his life a short while after.

Just a horrible tragedy whatever the circumstances.

It’s already been reported that he took his own life

Oh no really.

I hadnt seen that.

So Sad that someone with so many positives in his life got to a place where that was the best decision to make.

It wasn’t his best option. He’d have more than likely seen it as his only option!

This is very true, a lot of people that suffer with mental health issues think that the world would be better off without them and that they are a drain on those that love them.

Sorry to hear Lexi is gonna retire at the end of the season and not quite 30yrs old

Seems a career on the LPGA is often a lot shorter than PGAT (i.e Michelle Wie already retired, even Lydia wants out as soon as she clinches a HoF spot)

You say shorter, but both of those players started on tour so young. Lexi is 29, surprised the heck out of me, but has been on tour for 15 years. Michelle Wie's first pro tournament was at age 12

Similar to tennis, I can't help but feel that allowing young girls, I use girl deliberately, to play on tour professionally whilst in their mid teens is not good for their long term physical or mental health.

They wont look at it, they like the pr from it, but they should.
