Billy Hurley III’s father found in Texas hotel
The father of PGA Tour player Billy Hurley III has been found in Texas after his family didn’t know his whereabouts for more than nine days.
Willard Hurley Jr. was found “safe and sound” in the Lone Star state, according to Leesburg, Va., police. Someone recognized Hurley from news reports and notified police. Hurley declined to explain to officers why he had left home on July 19 in his truck with clothes and some cash.
Hurley was reported missing July 27, with his Naval Academy graduate son going public on Tuesday in hopes of identifying what happened to him.
“I’m just hoping that he goes to check my tee time or check my score and sees this and understands that dad, we love you and we want you to come home,” Hurley said Tuesday.
Hurley will make the cut at the Quicken Loans National at 2-under 140.
