Day tests negative for COVID-19, will continue to play Round 3 alone
Jason Day requested to be tested for COVID-19 prior to his third-round tee time and will continue to play as a single after the result came back negative, the PGA Tour announced.
Day wasn't feeling well before his round on Saturday, according to Golf Digest's Joel Beall. It's unknown whether his symptoms are consistent with the coronavirus.
The Australian was originally scheduled to play with Rafa Cabrera Bello and Roger Sloan at 8:09 a.m. ET. Instead, he was last out at 9:15 a.m off the 10th tee.
There have already been seven COVID-19-related withdraws from the Travelers Championship. Cameron Champ and Denny McCarthy tested positive, Brooks Koepka's and Graeme McDowell's caddies tested positive, and Chase Koepka, Bud Cauley, and Webb Simpson pulled out as a precaution.
