Marina Alex tests positive for COVID-19 before trip to Ohio for LPGA restart

Marina Alex tested positive for COVID-19 in the LPGA’s pre-travel phase of testing last week, before departure for the Drive On Championship in Toledo, Ohio, the tour announced Thursday.

Alex has withdrawn from this week’s event despite her report that she has tested negative three times since that initial positive test.

Gaby Lopez tested positive after arriving at the tournament site on Monday.

They are the only two LPGA players to test positive so far.

A caddie, who wasn’t named, also tested positive in pre-travel testing last week and did not make the trip, the tour reported.
