It’s doubtful lots of players have ever withdrawn from a PGA Tour event prior to a third round in which they were in the leading five of the tournament, however that’s what Branden Grace was forced to do on Saturday at the Barracuda Championship.
The worry all along for the PGA Tour is that COVID-19 would affect a competition while that competition was being played, and this is the first time we have actually seen someone near the lead on the weekend of an occasion have to withdraw according to PGA Tour procedure.
The key here is that Grace didn’t have to inform the PGA Tour about his symptoms.
Grace has 2 top-five surfaces in the last five PGA Championships.
