TPC Boston, MA … Scotland’s Russell Knox was heading to see the Tour’s doctor after his round of a two over par 73 on the first day of the Deutsche Bank Championship.
Knox had been suffering a mystery virus last week on Long Island, and something he said he picked-up from his wife’s niece but was clearly no better a week on.
“I’m really struggling with my health and it’s a legacy from last week and I just can’t seem to shake it so that’s why I’m heading off to see one of the Tour’s doctors,” he said.
Russell Knox now seeks advice from Tour doctor’s as mystery bug continues to sap Scot’s energy.
“I thought I was getting better but I am actually feeling worse and just struggling with my energy and feeling very tired”.
Knox begun his round in brilliant manner holing an 18-foot birdie putt but also included three bogeys in four holes from his 11th.
And Marin Laird is projected to drop out of this FedEx Cup after posting a four-over par 75.
Included in Laird’s round was four birdies but included in his round was back-to-back double bogeys at eight and nine and a bogey at 10.
Laird is currently ranked 63rd in the Play-Off standings but with the Tour indicating he would drop to 80th and with the top-70 at the close of the event on Monday only progressing to the Tour Championship in Atlanta.
