Brought To Ones Knees by COVID

I was watching on live TV when there was a dramatic scene at The Memorial golf tournament tonight. As 6-stroke leader Jon Rahm was leaving the course after finishing his round, he was given news that literally brought him to his knees in tears. The news was that he had tested positive for COVID.

So in the space of a few minutes, Rahm went from being on his way to a win tomorrow, to being forced to withdraw from the tournament.  Dottie Pepper went white; Jim Nance and Nick Faldo were stunned into silence. I felt so bad for him.

It was a terrible shock, but maybe it will also shock all these maskless fans and celebrating people into re-thinking their behavior before it happens to them, too.
