This story just infuriates the heck out of me.

Jon Rahm was in the middle of playing golf in the PGA’s Memorial Tournament. He had a six-stroke lead, on a real tear with 18 under par, equal to the tournament record for the lowest, three-round score.

He was making amazing shots like this one.

With such a big lead and playing on such a level, he was on track to win the almost $1.7 million prize.

But in the middle of the tournament, live on-air, officials came up to him and told him he would have to withdraw because he had tested positive for the Wuhan coronavirus.

This is just heartbreaking.

  • How awful. He doesn’t appear to be sick. He’s masked up. Outdoors. Everyone who wants to be vaccinated can be, (should have been by now.) He is not indoors, in a nursing home surrounded by vulnerable elderly people! So WHAT is the point of this? They are making mountains out of molehills! The irrational fear that has been ginned up by the media and the left is beyond ridiculous.

  • So, you stick a mask on him and let him continue to play! This is NOT rocket science folks!

  • Testing has been proven to be 90% inaccurate, they are outside with zero chance of transmission. Who wanted him out of the tournament?
