Leesburg, Va. police have located the missing father of PGA Tour player Billy Hurley, who tearfully pleaded for help finding him during a press conference at the Quicken Loans National tournament earlier this week.

“Willard (Bill) Hurley was located safe and sound this afternoon in Texas after a citizen recognized him from earlier media releases. The citizen contacted the local police department who responded to confirm his identity,” Leesburg (Va.) police spokesman Jeff Dube wrote in a statement.

Billy Hurley told shocked reporters on Tuesday that his father was reported missing on Monday after leaving his home with clothes, cash and credit cards the week before. “No one really knows why,” Hurley told reporters. “It’s complete speculation as to why he left. He’s been married to my mom for 30-plus years. You know, they still live in the house that I grew up in in Leesburg and I’m just hoping that there’s a story that maybe he goes to pgatour.com 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.”

Dube said on Friday that Willard Hurley told a detective he is “fine physically and is simply travelling.”

“Mr. Hurley did not wish to reveal the reasons behind his departure,” Dube added.
