Just fleshing out your link for those who didn't bother to click on it.

Well it's also written out above link. Anyway as far as the tour getting canceled, I think it depends on whether or not we see a lot of players getting it. Obviously having easy access to testing helps. A player dropped out last week after testing positive so they tested all the players and other personal that were with them. When their tests came back negative they were able to continue. 

Edit: Similar in the UFC. A few weeks back one of the fighters tested positive so they quarantined him and the rest were able to still fight.

Where? I don't see it anywhere about his caddie testing positive.

Let's just move on. It was a Craig joke. It's not important.

Hopefully he gets an exemption to wear shorts so we can see those calves again.

Xander has put himself in position to choke again.

[Tank]

de chambeau with a cart-path aided 428 yard drive on a 467 yard par 4.

he made bogey.

They seemed to have started very early today. Many of the leaders are well into their rounds. By the time CBS starts their live coverage today's round will be over. 

Mickelson is in all sorts of trouble on the par-5 13th. 

Dustin Johnson shot a cool 61. Nine birdies and the rest pars. He's tied for the lead.

Early tee times and groups of three due to expected bad weather.

So I suppose CBS will be showing it delayed. I don't care, I want some golf.

The round is pretty much already over. They were showing it on the Golf Channel this morning, but then cut away from the live footage so you couldn't see any of the leaders finish their round.

Mickelson launched the ball onto the railroad tracks from the bunker on 13 but minimized the damage with a brilliant bogey putt. He is 6 shots back after a round of +1. Typical Phil.

Brendon Todd with a 61 leads Johnson by two.

It's been just under 3 years since Speith has won a tournament.

I was watching the Golf channel and heard that too. Didn't realize that playoff chip in was 3 years ago.

Too much success too soon? Just lose his focus? Watching him win was a lot of fun. He could putt like a beast.

He'll get it back. He has too much talent not to.

Yeah, I saw that segment on the GC, too. 

When they showed his struggles, the putts he's been missing were cringeworthy.

Based on the last couple tournaments he's been in he still hasn't fixed that problem.

A group of about 50 protesters are yelling and chanting just outside of the golf club gate. I wonder if some of the golfers are distracted. Matthew Wolff has three bogeys already early on, and his lead is gone.

DeChambeau drove it 363 yards on the first hole and picked up a birdie. Kisner and Simpson are in the mix too.

BLM protestors? 

[Lou]

Holy crap, Douchambeau* is 4-up thru 10.

Kisner is three back now but running out of holes. Wolff has fallen off, +1 for his round so far. Simpson has really fallen behind.

+2

Bryson is just killing the ball but not as accurately these past few holes.

He's averaging 350 yds from the tee this week.

[fan_since79]

Oh no. Bryson drove it into the trees and his second shot is on the rocks. 

Wolff has birdied and is 3 back for now.
