I am perfectly fine despite testing positive: India golfer Chawrasia

SSP Chawrasia

Chawrasia said he was relieved it all happened in India or else he may have been alone if he had tested positive elsewhere. He was planning to join fellow Indian pro, Shubhankar Sharma, who is already in the UK and played the Hero Open in Birmingham this week. Chawrasia was taking all precautions as he resumed training at the Royal Calcutta Golf Club. He had also helped those affected by the cyclone in Bengal. Chawrasia's four European Tour wins included back-to-back victories in the Hero Indian Open in 2016 and 2017. Right now Shubhankar Sharma is the only Indian participating in Europe, while Arjun Atwal is playing in the US. Anirban Lahiri, who has been in India since March, is expected to leave for the US soon. This season Chawrasia has played four events on the European Tour, but all of them were in Asia. He made the cut in all four with a best finish of tied 22 in Hong Kong, while he was tied 32 in Singapore, tied 25 in Oman and tied 28 in Qatar, before golf events around the world came to a halt because of the pandemic.
