Murray was a standout golfer from a young age, becoming the second-youngest golfer to make the cut on the Korn Ferry Tour at just 16 years old.<\/p>\n<p>Higgs made the remarks after winning a playoff at the Visit Knoxville Open on Sunday.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI just have a message, so forgive me if things get a little deep,\u201d Higgs said. \u201cWe lost yesterday morning one of our own. I don\u2019t know if you guys heard the news, but somebody who went through a lot of difficult things, somebody who was open and honest about it, and I thought last night \u2013 I didn\u2019t sleep worth a darn, and I\u2019m really good at sleeping.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI thought about this moment and how to maybe remember Grayson, and it just kind of dawned on me that everybody here \u2013 one, thank you so much for receiving me and congratulating me and cheering me on throughout. But this golf stuff and the result, it\u2019s lovely, sure. But it\u2019s just not that meaningful,\u201d he continued. \u201cOne thing that I thought of last night, especially laying in bed, is I would challenge everybody here \u2013 and I\u2019m going to do this myself as well \u2013 each day, say something nice to someone you love. And also, make it a point to say something nice to somebody you do not even know.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe world is a very difficult place, and only getting more difficult,\u201d Higgs added. \u201cI\u2019ve been blessed with great parents and a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/usa-today-opinion-piece-i-watched-with-pride-and-admiration-as-fetterman-debated-oz-who-belittled-and-bullied-him\/\" title=\"USA Today Opinion Piece: I Watched With \u2018Pride And Admiration\u2019 As Fetterman Debated Oz, Who \u2018Belittled And Bullied\u2019 Him\">great support system<\/a>, and I haven\u2019t had \u2013 other than some frustration at times \u2013 any battles mentally. But Lord knows how many people do, and it\u2019s only ever increasing.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He said that each person possesses the power to make a meaningful impact on someone that could change the course of their life.<\/p>\n<p><b><a href=\"https:\/\/onelink.to\/dwapp\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" aria-describedby=\"sk-tooltip-9096\" data-saferedirecturl=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?q=https:\/\/onelink.to\/dwapp&#038;source=gmail&#038;ust=1700760801843000&#038;usg=AOvVaw2PQrVSrJfhxNb4LcARqniG\">CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APP<\/a><\/b><\/p>\n<p>WATCH:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-media-max-width=\"560\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">\u201cEveryone here could be a difference.
