Ten days. That’s how long it took for Grayson Murray to get into hot water on his return to Twitter.
The 24-year-old, winner of the Barbasol Championship earlier this year, arrived back on the social media platform on November 2 but, by Sunday night, he had questioned the relevance of the Champions Tour.

It led to a backlash from Champions Tour players, including John Daly and Steve Flesch while the PGA Tour, which owns the Champions Tour, would also likely have been unimpressed.
That's why I luv ya brother! It's sad.....some of these guys just don't it!

It led to this grovelling apology from Murray, who took full advantage of Twitter’s new 280-character count.

Fair play to Rikard Karlberg. You may remember Jin Jeong – 2010 Amateur champion, 2010 Open silver medallist and winner on the European Tour in 2013.
Injury and poor form has taken its toll on Jeong’s career in recent times as he failed to make the cut in any event in 2016 and went onto lose his card.
Earlier this week, he was back at Q-School but struggled again, with Karlberg helping shut down an account – @JinJeongTracker – which mocked the Korean’s performances.
Who is this making fun off someone's struggles? pathetic coward!!! Jin is a nice guy who doesn't wanna give up! Give him some cred instead! https://t.co/MmTxCUsGJl

Haha, I just went thru your account and your so called "supportive" tweets. I printscreened and then when I went back for more you erased it pic.twitter.com/MJelzkNenl
