Had 54 hole tourney record, on pace for the 72 hole record, up by 6 strokes and loses a potential $1.67 million. Unreal. Never been a huge fan of Rahm but this really sucks.

How is someone in his position not vaccinated yet? I've been vaccinated for weeks now.

I think he's been vaxxed

Also, is there a reason he couldn't play alone?

Kind of a odd occurrence, on many levels, plus I sure hope he wasn’t vaxxed  better for us, and all I see on golf channel is the mornings test was positive so they retested the same sample, I understood they do that but why not get a second sample to test? Plus yea for a million bucks and a course record let him play alone.

Not vaxxed, no official release but reading several stories that the protocol that he was following is that of someone who has not been vaccinated.

Even if he was... if he was in close contact (which is how they’re saying he got it) you can still get it if you’re vaccinated.  They probably wouldn’t have found out though as they wouldn’t have tested him daily

Don’t forget a whole bunch of vaccinated NY Yankees got covid. The strength of the vaccine is it pretty much guarantees you won’t die and you’ll be a lot less sick.

Kill slow play. Allow walking. Reduce ineffective golf instruction. Use environmentally friendly course maintenance.

They waited for the extra test to confirm it.

Let him play alone? Sure. Maybe just give him a round if 65 and be done with it.  No need for protocols and rules to apply to him. He’s a professional sportsman. They’re much more important than plebs like us. 🤨

In the race of life, always back self-interest. At least you know it's trying.

He was not. If he had been here wouldn’t have to get tested.

Absolutely not.

Not familiar with the USGA and PGA COVID protocol but is he in danger of missing the U.S. Open?

Expand  

He’s supposed to isolate until 2 days before it begins.  Not much time to practice, but wont miss

But if he was vaxxedd, he wouldnt have been a part of this testing program that flagged him

If that's true than I kind of feel like it's on him for taking that risk.

Is it possible he was tested only because he was in close proximity to somebody who had tested positive?

Why not? To “send a message?”

What?! No. It’s a f***ing sport with rules.

That’s one of the dumbest things I’ve seen.

    • No…? When we edit the title of topics, a little note appears.
    • Rush or delay your own pace and you are probably going to suffer in the long run. PGA pro are well oiled machines that work on an specific pace, it's not surprise that if you move them out of their normal routine things are going to go sideways. I normally don't rush shots, but I sometimes delay the trigger if I'm not feeling it. The result is a lack of athleticism, I kind of get a little stiff and I could loose some yards and accuracy.   
    • It seems like the title to this thread may have been edited. Super hilarious BTW.
    • Argentina: I read about the 3 or 4 clubs challenge in several countries. Here in Argentina, once a year, on several clubs, "Torneo de Brujas" (The witches tournament) is played. It consist on the same concept, only 4 clubs are allowed but the difference is that only woman can play it. What amaze me is that the winning scores are almost the same as if they were playing with all 14 clubs. Seems like sorcery to me..
