Golfer Sergio Garcia has given up participating in the Masters Tournament to be held in Augusta on Thursday because he has been declared positive at COVID-19.
Thus, the Spaniard will miss his first major tournament in 21 years. He explained on his Twitter account the circumstances surrounding his problems of the last few hours.
“Coming back from the Houston Open on Saturday night, I started to have a sore throat and a cough. The symptoms were still present on Sunday morning, so I decided to get tested for the coronavirus with my wife Angela. Fortunately, she is negative, but not me, he wrote. The most important thing is that my family and I feel good. We will come back stronger and I will fight for the green jacket next April. ”
In Texas last weekend, Garcia suffered a chop halfway through the competition, finishing with a cumulative 145, five strokes above par.
