Rickochet True and all, BUT, the Yankees proved you can have breakthrough infections. The good news for those vaccinated is that if they do test positive, they are 100% likely to survive!

      So, how does this apply to Rahm in this situation?

          Rickochet It doesn't, I have no idea if he is vaccinated or not. Just saying you can still get it after the shot/shots.

            According to the PGA protocols, Rahm should have been tested again after today's round, as he has been required to do. Wondering if the positive nullified that? I would think Rahm would demand a test immediately, with over $2M on the line.
            I'll bet his agent, his "people", are working OT tonight.

            I say send him off last all by himself! He may melt just from waiting on the twosome in front of him all day!

            Oh, and no caddie, he has to lug around his own clubs!

              Par4QC Toulon is sitting home, bouncing on the edge of his seat saying....."Was he vaccinated, was he vaccinated, was he vaccinated.....?"

              He was
              Edit: Now it seems he may have only had the first shot on Tuesday after realizing he was exposed.

                  Dude made a hole-in-one in the AM and then shoots 30 on the back nine and then........

                  It seems he rolled the dice and lost.

                  He was subject to the PGA testing protocols because he had come in close contact with a person who was COVID-19 positive. But, those same PGA rules also state that players who are fully vaccinated -14 days past the full vaccination cycle - are not subject to testing as a result of close contact.

                  So, while an unfortunate (and costly) situation for Rahm, and marks the Tournament winner with a big ole asterisk(*), it appears it could have been avoided. While whether or not to get the vaccine is an individual's choice ... I've never had a personal choice cost me nearly 1.7 million (not to mention the other perks: 550 FedEx Cup points, the 68 Official World Golf Ranking points, a three-plus season exemption on the PGA Tour, as well berths into the 2021 Masters and 2021 PGA Championship, as well next year's Sentry Tournament of Champions.) Jon's probably pretty well off already - but I think I might have had trouble sleeping last night.

                      Maybe Toulon will start a thread about this.......oh, wait.

                        I saw the thread title and didn't know what to think.

                        Stu1961 I'm 26 making millions, no threat in life, I'd be bulletproof too--was myself when 26 and a Capt flying for a living. He knew the risk by still playing, two negative tests, I'd think no way and press on. Lesson learned. Seemed to have a better response hrs later. Notification just off the green on live TV was bad form by all. No practice rounds for the US Open, but should be able to play.
                        Now, will he get any picks in the soon-to-be @Eguller US Open GB contest?????

                            Y'all can't get John and President Trump out of your minds, can ya? Good. Mission accomplished.

                            Anyway, I'm sure Rahm and his family will be picking through their neighbor's garbage looking for a meal next week. Yeah, he's an idiot for not thinking like an idiot. Expensive lesson, paleeze. 🙄

                            The Tour's medical director had just received results of the 2nd negative test shortly before he ended his round. The medical director was with the Tour officials when they gave him the bad news about both tests being negative. They did NOT want his going to the scorer's tent and be assured he wasn't in contact with anyone else. The tour followed their written protocols.
