ORLANDO, Fla. – It was a perfect spring day in central Florida as Billy Horschel made his way down a long line of autograph seekers signing every flag, hat and golf ball that was shoved in his direction.
“I’m going to sign whatever someone hands me and then I’m going to go and wash my hands,” Horschel shrugged when asked if he had any health concerns interacting with fans. It was March 8, 2020.
Five days later everything changed.
On that perfect Sunday at the Arnold Palmer Invitational, there were still too many unknowns for Horschel when it came to COVID-19.
