[Asia Economy Reporter No Woo-rae] ○…Denny McCarthy (USA, photo) has been sidelined by the novel coronavirus infection (COVID-19).
The PGA Tour announced on the 27th (Korean time) that "McCarthy, who participated in the Travelers Championship that opened the day before, tested positive for COVID-19 and withdrew." He started smoothly in a tie for 22nd place with three birdies in the first round, but gave up the round after receiving a positive COVID-19 test result before the second round. Bud Cauley (USA), who played in the same group as McCarthy, tested negative for COVID-19 but also declared withdrawal.
