Jeff Posted June 5, 2021 Share Posted June 5, 2021 6 shots clear going into the final day. About to walk off the 18th and an official wanders over to tell him he has to withdraw due to a positive covid test. What a world we are now living in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I P Knightley Posted June 6, 2021 Share Posted June 6, 2021 If getting the virus makes you play golf THAT welll, I regret having the vaccine😆 $1,670,000 first prize handed over.

I don’t think the OP meant he should continue playing and potentially infect others . I think it’s just a general look at the world we live in now. Something you wouldn’t imagine would happen two years ago. taking a 6 shot lead in and told you have the virus you need to withdraw it’s something you would see in a movie or a bad dream.

He got tested AM, finished his round and then they told him. Why did they not pull him out mid way? Shambles from the PGA. The fact they told him Infront of everyone is shan as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jack D and coke Posted June 6, 2021 Share Posted June 6, 2021 Apparently he’d refused the vaccine up till now. Going to have it now though... What a knob. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redjambo Posted June 6, 2021 Share Posted June 6, 2021 I'm actually kind of surprised that they didn't require all players to be fully vaccinated before taking part. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So amateurish. According to reports, the second confirmatory positive result was only received when he was on the 18th green. The tournament's medical guy took the decision to tell him asap so that he could isolate. I guess they didn't want him getting too close to other folk after his round was finished. It would probably have worked fine if Rahm hadn't reacted the way he did (*completely* understandable of course) and folk around the green immediately realised that something was afoot.

Some info here: https://golf.com/news/jon-rahm-withdraws-lead-covid-questions-and-answers/ If you're fully vaccinated + 14 days, you're not subject to tracing protocols. He was placed under these protocols on Monday due to proximity to someone who tested positive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

merrymac Posted June 21, 2021 Share Posted June 21, 2021 3 hours ago, jonnothejambo said: Brilliant from Rahm. But why did Oosthuizen play that second shot so short on the 18th when he needed an Eagle to tie ? Strange decision by Louis. Obviously did not fancy the lie. Pretty poor from him if money is the prime objective,why else would he not have a go? Also he didn't actually have to go over the pond he could have fed it in from the right. Tough shot but if you want to win a major? I'll say this for the likes of Mickelson he would of 100% had a go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
