Not only that, Christina has also been the reason for Murray’s presence at the Augusta National. In January, after a five-year wait, Murray finally secured victory at a PGA Tour event held at Waialae Country Club. Following his well-deserved victory, the two-time PGA Tour winner dedicated his win to his fiancee and God by saying, “My fiancee changed my life; Jesus Christ changed my life.”

How did Christina help Murray through dark times?

Murray started his professional career in 2017 and won one event the same year. However, that was the same time he encountered a setback in his life in the form of alcoholism. But later on, the pro decided to ask for assistance and own up to his mistakes.
