Watch it be a false positive and he is not sick. This really sucks.

Even if he does have it and is asymptomatic, is there any harm letting him play? Just mask him up and put a face shield on him. Keep him away from others. They are outdoors, for crying out loud.

His parents still haven’t seen his newborn, nor him since Feb 2020.

April 12, 2020 Dr. Fauci's e-mail says the PCR tests are faulty and inaccurate.

You can't run a 40X test and expect a meaningful result.

Rahm should tell them to keep everybody 20 feet away and let him play!

Some bookies are paying out rahm bets as winners. I think draftkings is one.

Some people are saying people he played with should get the boot too due to contract tracing...although i suspect they are bettors who are betting on someone else

Why test anyone who doesn’t exhibit any symptoms. We don’t test everyone for the flu, only if they have symptoms. Rahm should sue.

He’s probably asking the PGA, “I’m kicking everyone’s ass by at least six strokes and you’re telling me I have the rona? How is it even possible for me to be standing here talking to you if I’m supposed to be sick with the oh-so deadly and debilitating rona?”

He should be allowed to play his last 18 with a rules official before everyone else tees off.

I like this idea.

Jordan Spieth had to play a round solo when his pairing partner withdrew mid-round a few months ago.

. It moved me to tears.

*****************************
Did it move you to tears when not a single one of these weasel golfers stood up for Trump when they took the future PGA major away from Trumps course? Golf used to be one of my favorite sports but I haven’t watched a minute since they took the tournament away from Trump’s course. Go start a GoFundMe page for the guy and buy yourself a box of tissues while you’re at. Talk about melodramatic.

Masks and 500X social distance to the pin doesn’t work in golf?

I had to give it up early because of the rude snobbish hypocrites yelling at me for picking up $5 golf balls from out of bounds.

Too bad, it had all been going so well for the PGA tour since they took the plunge into this post-COVID sports venture, only a handful of positive tests and usually known far enough in advance that the players just pulled out of a couple of tournaments. Several big-name players have tested positive in the past, I can think of Dustin Johnson, Justin Rose, Adam Scott and Webb Simpson, none of them got particularly sick.

Even Jack Nicklaus, the host of this current tournament, said he had the COVID last February (2020) and it was just a mild cold-like illness that hardly slowed down his routine, which at 80 years of age probably isn’t all that much I suppose.

They should let Rahm play with a marker or something, this is a crazy outcome and I’ll bet he doesn’t even have it. Webb Simpson didn’t have it either (a series of positive and negative tests anyway). I think I had it last night, at least I sneezed a couple of times. Probably just allergies though. But just to be safe, my wife took off for a week.

Most people who have covid don’t even know they have it. Many just stay home and feel tired for a few days. My neighbor, who works at the hospital, caught it and stayed home. Her sons brought her groceries and other necessities and she’s fine again after a week.

My friend’s two wonderful grandsons got it and stayed in the house for a week. Didn’t even feel sick. Now they have natural immunity, as does my neighbor.

c-19 is vastly overrated. Rahm should most assuredly be allowed to play. Morikawa can stay 6 feet away.
