Second Covid

-

Spanish golfer Jon Rahm has tested positive for Covid-19 for the second time in two months and is out of the Olympics only a few hours after American golfer Bryson DeChambeau met the same fate. The back-to-back coronaviru­s shockers came on the second full day of action in Tokyo and put a dampener on the golf tournament. The sport is scheduled to begin Thursday and will be without the past two US Open champions. DeChambeau won in 2020 at Winged Foot. Rahm took the title last month at Torrey Pines just weeks after testing positive for Covid19 for the first time.
