Mel Reid withdraws from Amundi Evian Championship because of travel restrictions

Mel Reid withdrew from the Amundi Evian Championship, citing recent travel restrictions for those arriving to the U.K. from France.

The U.K. announced on Friday that those entering from France will have to quarantine for 10 days, even if fully vaccinated against COVID-19. The new rule went into effect on Monday as concerns increase over the Delta variant. The LPGA's fourth major of the season is contested in Evian-les-Bains, France. If Reid were to compete and then have to quarantine in the U.K., she would not be able to make the trip to Tokyo, Japan for the Olympic Games.
