NEWTOWN SQUARE, Pa. – When trying to find a trend, you often look at the leaderboard of a major championship and see what the players near the top have in common: big hitters, great putters, winning experience.
But in a strange coincidence, the two early names atop the KPMG Women’s PGA Championship shared positive COVID-19 diagnoses.
Carlota Ciganda and Gaby Lopez both tested positive earlier this year for the novel coronavirus. While Lopez was the first known LPGA player to do so, ahead of the tour’s first event back in late July, Ciganda tested positive in June.
