The pandemic is hitting golf hard at the Summer Olympics.
Spaniard Jon Rahm’s second positive test for COVID-19 in two months forced him to bow out of the 2020 Olympics, according to the PGA Tour.
Rahm will not be replaced, leaving Adri Arnaus as Space’s lone participant.
On Saturday it was revealed American golfer Bryson DeChambeau also wouldn’t take part in the Olympics due to a positive test for the virus.
Patrick Reed has replaced DeChambeau.

“I am deeply disappointed not to be able to compete in the Olympics for Team USA,” DeChambeau said in a statement. “Representing my country means the world to me, and it is was a tremendous honor to make this team. I wish Team USA the best of luck next week in Tokyo.
“I will now focus on getting healthy, and I look forward to returning to competition once I am cleared to do so.”
DeChambeau tested positive during the final round of testing protocols before leaving for Tokyo.
