Chad sixth US golfer to test +ve

New York: American Chad Campbell is the sixth US PGA Tour player to test positive for Covid-19 as the tour heads into the fourth week of its restart after a three-month shutdown. The tour said in a statement that Campbell had withdrawn from this week’s Rocket Mortgage Classic in Detroit, where he was the first alternate, after he tested positive as part of the pre-tournament screening process. Campbell, a four-time tour winner, missed the cut at the first tournament since the coronavirus shutdown ended at Colonial three weeks ago and hadn’t played since. He will now enter self-isolation per tour guidelines and must be cleared medically before he can compete again. “While the positive test result is unnerving, I am incredibly grateful to be asymptomatic and feel physically well, and my thoughts are with anyone dealing with Covid-19, directly or indirectly,” Campbell said in a statement.
