Lucas Herbert has earned another shot at securing his future in the United States after qualifying for this week’s Travelers Championship at TPC River Highlands in Connecticut.
Playing with the spectre of a COVID-19 test result hanging over his head, Jason Day’s first made cut since the PGA Tour’s resumption was thankfully positive in a purely golf sense.
Johnson, who came into the event ranked 134th in strokes gained putting, was fourth for the week in the stat, picking up more than six shots on the field.
Golf is fickle. Golf is cruel. Golf is unfair. Golf is hard. You’ve heard all the ways people describe this stupid game we love to hate. Brendon Todd, who has come back from the abyss multiple times in his career, knows them all better than anybody.
After receiving a negative result on a COVID-19 test that he requested Saturday morning, Jason Day played the third round of the Travelers Championship as a single as a precautionary measure.
The PGA Tour confirmed the result, taken during a pre-tournament screening, on Tuesday afternoon. Per the tour’s protocols, Champ has to withdraw from the event.
