Patrick Reed's bilateral pneumonia later diagnosed as COVID-19
ATLANTA – The bilateral pneumonia that forced Patrick Reed to withdraw from The Northern Trust and miss last week’s BMW Championship was later diagnosed as COVID-19, the nine-time PGA Tour winner told Golf Channel’s Todd Lewis.
“My primary diagnosis was bilateral pneumonia,” Reed said in a text. “I was vaccinated for COVID-19 so I’m not sure if I had the delta variant but I’m just really happy to be able to be here and I’m feeling much better.”
Shortly after returning home from the first post-season event in New Jersey, Reed was admitted into Houston Methodist Hospital with what was diagnosed as bilateral pneumonia.
