I wonder if they tested him more than once.? He felt so bad i guess he thought he better take a few less strokes.
under these circumstances?
I believe the rules are the players dont need to be tested if they have been vaccinated, even if they come into contact with a positive person. So, this means Rahm probably wasn't vaccinated- his choice, his loss. An expensive choice for sure.
lol I'd sue the pga tour tomorrow for the full winner's purse + damages if I were him.
That's a little harsh, but yeah- he made a choice and now will have to live with it.
They told him on Monday that through contract tracing he was in their COVID protocol. He had indoor restrictions and had to be tested everyday. The test between 2nd round and 3rd round came back positive. They did not remove him immediately because they wanted another test done on same sample to confirm the positive test. They got the confirmation results when he was finishing up the 18th hole. The PGA seems to have a logical COVID protocol unlike some other sports. They did not want to pull him without a 2nd positive. Could they have figured out a way for an asymptomatic positive to continue to play golf? Probably. If DeChambeau showed signs of the FLU tomorrow before his round, the PGA would probably pull him unless they get a negative result back. It is the world we are living in,
What choice did he make that was so harsh? Rahm has probably followed regulations to a T. After all, he just became a father a couple months ago, I am sure he has been over-cautious with a baby daughter. Let the guy play as a single, he is perfectly healthy.
obviously he is not perfectly healthy
Huh? What? The guy just shot 64 on a difficult course and had the time of his life leading by 6 shots. He is fine, perfectly healthy, let him defend this championship!
As a medical professional, I find it repugnant to state " IF he was not vaccinated by choice he got exactly what he deserved." Covid is still a potentially a fatal disease. I would never make the statement you did, in particular with political overtones. It's a reprehensible statement. I urge you to reconsider.
There are well recognized adverse events associated with the vaccine, including thrombo-emboli and death.. There is no guarantee that if he received the vaccine he would be "perfectly healthy".
Not true. While it is alot less likely that he would have gotten Covid had he been vacinated earlier...he still could have gotten Covid. We all need to remember getting vaccinated does not 100% keep you from getting Covid. But it sure helps.
Would that include toenail fungus which seems to be running rampanthere? 😢 We may have to speak in the near future.
