The PGA Tour officially found its first positive COVID-19 case on Friday since play resumed last week.
At least one golfer thinks that lax safety measures and conditions around the RBC Heritage at Harbour Town Golf Links in Hilton Head, South Carolina, are to blame.
Justin Thomas, ahead of Saturday’s third round, knows Nick Watney was taking precautions this week before he tested positive — which forced him to withdraw from the event on Friday morning.
Others in the area, Thomas said, are not.
“I mean no offense to Hilton Head, but they’re seeming to not take it very seriously,” Thomas said, via Golf Digest.
