Davis Riley was finishing a 4-under 66 for a four-shot lead over surging Scottie Scheffler at Colonial while PGA Tour Commissioner Jay Monahan conducted interviews about the death of two-time tour winner Grayson Murray.

Another week, another dose of unsettling news off the course, this time at the Charles Schwab Challenge in Fort Worth, Texas.

Scheffler’s arrest during the PGA Championship a week ago was triggered by an accident that killed a pedestrian. This death hit closer to home for the players, and Monahan quickly flew to Texas after getting word Saturday that the 30-year-old Murray had died.

Murray, who dealt with alcohol and mental health issues in the past, withdrew late in his second round at Colonial on Friday, and Monahan was told of his death a little less than 24 hours later.

So the Sunday question of whether Riley can hold off world No. 1 Scheffler for his first solo victory is now mixed with how players might honor Murray just four months after he won the Sony Open in Hawaii

“It’s not just about tomorrow,” Monahan said. “It’s about the weeks ahead, it’s about the months ahead. There are a lot of people that are going to be carrying a heavy heart for a long period of time out on the PGA Tour, and there’s a family that is obviously devastated that we need to support.”

Riley was at 14-under 196.

Scheffler shot 63 and was alone in second at 10 under. The hometown favorite has played his last 41 holes in 13 under since his first triple-bogey of the year in the first round, which was his second round over par (72) in the previous three coming off a streak of 41 rounds at par better.

The Masters champ has a new streak going, but once again found himself answering questions that had nothing to do with his round.

“Obviously, the news hasn’t really sunk in quite yet, but I’m thinking about his family and praying hard for all of them,” Scheffler said. “I got to know Grayson a bit better over the last six months. There’s not really a way to put into words how sad and tragic it is.”

PGA Tour Champions

Ernie Els kept the mistakes to a minimum down the stretch Saturday and hit wedge in tight for birdie on his final hole for a 2-under 69, giving him a share of the lead with Greg Chalmers going into the final round of the Senior PGA Championship in Benton Harbo, Michigan.

Chalmers, the left-handed Australian renowned for his putting, had a 66 while making only two bogeys, not a bad mark on the Harbor Shores course that gave so many fits.

Els, a four-time major champion and among the best of his generation, is in great position to finally get a first major title on the senior circuit. This is his 17th senior major.

Els and Chalmers were at 10-under 203.

DP World Tour

Spanish golfer Nacho Elvira is taking a four-shot lead into the final round of the Soudal Open in Belgium, where he’s chasing his second career European tour win.

Elvira dropped his first shots at Rinkven International Golf Club in a third-round 4-under 67. He bogeyed the 13th and closing holes.

At 18 under overall, he’s four clear of Englishmen Joe Dean (66) and Ross Fisher (70), Frenchman Romain Langasque (68) and Dane Niklas Norgaard (67).

LPGA Tour

Angela Stanford became the first player to successfully defend the LPGA Senior Championship title, closing with a 3-under 69 in breezy conditions Saturday for a three-stroke victory over Cristie Kerr in Hurricane, Utah. Stanford, 46, finished at 10-under 206.
