I read that as he arrived (Tuesday/Wednesday), tested negative, played the first round on Thursday, started symptoms on Friday morning before coming to the course, tested positive, now in isolation
Begs the question where did he get it from..?
And how many others could have got it and aren't showing any symptoms?

That's how I read it. Felt ill on Friday, got tested and positive. I would assume that his PP's from round 1 were also tested as standard and guessing they came out as negative and were allowed to continue. Wonder if any testing was extended to the caddies

I read this as prior to arriving at the tourney on Friday, not prior to the tournament starting. Hopefully that's the case...
Travelled privately, so plenty of out-of-bubble experiences possible.

In actual golf news, how annoying is Daniel Berger's putting routine. It's a double furyk! Surely, nobody does a double furyk...
I saw him doing it on his last putt last weekend , but put it down to the situation. Turns out it's a regular thing.

Hate watching him hit wedges as well, so ugly. His swing is ugly at the best of times, but even worse when he's inside 125 and having to manipulate yardage. Gross.

Lol. Completely agree. He really chops across it.
If one of your mates did that, you'd be happy to see it...
Goes without saying that he's obviously really good (unlike mates, fortunately).

Nick Watney tested positive for COVID-19 at the Hetitage.

Haha yep. I mean it obviously works, he won on the PGA Tour last week but god is it ugly. Proper laid off (looks more exaggerated with a shorter club), so many moving parts, takes so much turf, gross.

rumours now out there from golf journos that there are more positive results to come, and theyve only tested 400 of the 1100 personnel on site!

This was always going to happen...
The virus is now inside the PGA bubble...the whole place has to be deep cleaned - or at least everywhere that Watney has been.
If others have it they may even have to abandon the event....
Oh well..let's wait and see what happens..

Apparently he was on the range awaiting the results of his test...
Hopefully (because I like golf, and this period is a great opportunity to encourage people to play it), it will be contained.
If they get away with this, maybe the near miss will bring a few people to their senses and prevent it happening again..
I'm not especially optimistic though.
