Sunday's 3M winner could turn positive test into actual positive
Denny McCarthy, the PGA Tour’s lonesome pro, made the best of his circumstances Saturday at the 3M Open.
So did Harris English and Nick Watney, who are bound to McCarthy as reluctant fellow members of a club nobody wants to be a part of, players who have tested positive for COVID-19.
They all played themselves into contention Saturday at TPC Twin Cities in suburban Minneapolis.
McCarthy, playing solo while under COVID-19 restrictions, put up a 7-under 64 to move into a tie for sixth with English, Watney and a batch of other players. A month after testing positive for the virus, he finally returned a negative test last weekend, but he still falls under the restrictions.
