well i guess his caddie has got a few weeks off

Apparently they get a wedge from the tour... (metaphorically speaking)

 

[fundy]

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.

the first sentence really is quite worrying sadly

 

[fundy]

show must go on is the soundbite from Rory, not sure he had much choice after questioning how much those not here cared about their careers

 

[fundy]

wow next mouthpiece up is Jordan Spieth lol

media briefings done their job in advance

Ha, I have a tiny amount of shekels on Frittelli each way, so can see how late into the evening he can hang to a place for..

Oh well, post delay it looks like no wind and soft greens.

late starters have had a massive break for sure, if they had a couple of hours in the winds might have been very different, course has zero defense now though

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.

Great to see. Everyone nowadays plays the same way, its good to have people out there with more "interesting" swings.

Sums up the PGA Coronavirus thing pretty well.
PGA Tour players not invincible despite flouting social distancing rules at tournaments

There's a few posts mentioning that players would be in a bubble all the time further back in the thread - never any chance of them being in a real bubble

Cameron Champ tested positive and withdrawn from the Travelers

Koepkas caddie now too so hes pulled out this week (having played a practise round with Gmac)

Not much of a bubble is it..?
Not enough yet but I do wonder what number the PGA has in mind when it comes to suspending the tour again..worst case scenario is that someone catches it and dies but this virus can have lasting physical effects and a severe case could be a career ender..
They need to be careful as America is taking off again..

I notice Rorys stopped telling anyone who cares about their career that they should be playing

Wonder if theres any impact on the comps planned over here

I think the European Tour are taking this far more seriously, have better plans in place. By all accounts Harbour Town itself was rammed, all business as usual.

Watching the football just now - huddles and cuddles seem to be the order of the day at Man U v Sheff U - it's not just America
