Billy Hurley's young son is blunt about the golfer's lack of fame

It was a rough 2015 for Billy Hurley III, who publicly declared his father missing during the Quicken Loans National as a means to aid the search. Willard Hurley was found in a public library three days later, but two weeks later committed suicide 12 miles from his Leesburg, Va., home.

Hurley, who has been coping with the heartbreak for the last several months, placed 136th in the FedEx Cup standings this past season. That lost Hurley his PGA Tour card, and he failed to earn it back for 2015-16 at Web.com Tour Finals.
