Positive COVID-19 test leads to more withdrawals from Travelers Championship
World number four Brooks Koepka and Northern Ireland’s Graeme McDowell also withdrew from the tournament as a precaution after their caddies tested positive. The two golfers tested negative.“I was feeling pretty tired and sore after the round yesterday but didn’t think much of it because I had practiced a lot Monday to Wednesday,” McCarthy told the PGA Tour.
McCarthy is set to self-isolate for 10 days as per Tour protocols. His caddie Derek Smith tested negative. PGA Tour commissioner Jay Monahan thanked McCarthy for “doing the right thing” in requesting an additional test on Friday before heading to the course.“What Denny, Bud and others are demonstrating is exactly what we asked of everyone,” Monahan said.
