JUNO BEACH, Fla. – With the 48th Walker Cup just a day away, several players are dealing with suspected food poisoning.
GolfChannel.com first reported on Thursday that a handful of competitors from both the U.S. and GB&I squads, including Americans Davis Thompson and Austin Eckroat, had been dealing with stomach bugs. Thompson and Eckroat missed Wednesday's practice at Seminole Golf Club, and Thompson was still sluggish on an abbreviated Thursday highlighted by multiple weather delays.
“I’m feeling a lot better today, so hopefully tomorrow I’ll be back to 100 percent and be ready to roll by Saturday,” Thompson said.
