Frittelli, McCarthy, English to play as singles Saturday at Muirfield

DUBLIN, Ohio – The COVID-19 pandemic has altered nearly every aspect of everyday life, and Saturday at the Memorial, the coronavirus will produce another awkward situation.

Last week’s clarification to its health and safety plan that would allow players who continue to test positive for coronavirus to compete if certain conditions are met means the weekend tee sheet at Muirfield Village will include three one-somes.

Three players who fell under the “timed out” policy made the cut – Dylan Frittelli, Denny McCarthy and Harris English – and because they are not tied through 36 holes they will be sent out at the same time as others with the same score.
