At least one virus raises his ugly head at the first college golf tournament of the week.
Several players from several teams fought against the disease when the Puerto Rico Classic was opened Monday at the Grand Reserve Golf Club in Rio Grande, Puerto Rico. There was only one withdrawal, Nicholas Arcement of LSU, but according to some coaches, there were more than a few players who were so sick that they vomited during the Tour.
“All kinds of people are sick here at the moment,” said a coach. “At least six children vomit today.”
Another coach estimated that this number was north of 10 players.
Ole Miss, the best classified team in the country, opens the way at 16, two shots away from Purdue and three before Oklahoma, fourth, although it was not 100%, per Coach Chris Malloy. LSU n ° 7 and Virginia No. 8 are also on the ground and seated T-6 and Solo Fifth, respectively. The Tigers, of course, did not have the luxury of a drop score with WD of arcement, but Amos hoped to have the five players for the second round on Tuesday.
“Great efforts and finish from the team today in difficult circumstances,” said Amos, whose four other guys have combined to draw 7 in their last three holes.
Ass at a tie with LSU is the north of Florida, another team fighting against flu and other bugs. The oscreys, however, boast of the individual leader, Ole Miss Transfer Brett Schell, who pulled 7-mine of 65 years and is a blow in front of the teammates of Ole Miss Cam Tankersley and Cohen Trolio, and Kent Hsiao de Purdue.

For the rebels, twice winners last fall, it’s like the already seen. It was in the dry championship last spring when several players, including star Michael La Sasso, fell with a stomach virus. Ole Miss ended up finishing Neuvieh that week, missing a match, before the disease lights up in the NCAA Stanford region, where the rebels failed to advance it to the NCAA championship by Only one place.
The flu and other viruses were widespread across the country, with several cases reported to the Farmers Insurance insurance of the PGA Tour a few weeks ago. Ludvig Åberg was one of the players affected in Torrey Pines before retiring due to an illness during the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am the following week.
