MIAMI, Dec 27, 2020 (BSS/AFP) – Australian golf great Greg Norman said
Saturday he was quarantining at home after spending Christmas Day in the
hospital with Covid-19 symptoms.
The 65-year-old Aussie, a former world number one who won the 1986 and
1983 British Opens, said in an Instagram post on Saturday that he still had
fever, joint and muscle aches and headaches “but on a lesser level.”
Although he had yet to get results of his latest Covid-19 test, Norman
said he had a chest X-Ray and blood test in the hospital “where 2 markers
showed up leading the Doc to say, assume you are positive with these symptoms
and markers.
“They released me to continue quarantining at home on medication in our
guest house away from the main house,” added Norman, who posted a picture of
himself on the balcony of the guest house.
On Friday, Norman had posted a photo of himself with medical equipment in
the background, an NFL Pittsburgh Steelers mask over his lower face and the
caption: “This sums it all up. My Christmas Day.”
Norman competed in last week’s PNC Championship at Orlando with his son
Greg Jr., finishing in a share of ninth.
He tested negative for Covid-19 prior to the event and again as recently
as Tuesday.
“Until I get 2 consecutive negative tests I will continue to isolate with
my dog Apollo keeping me company,” he wrote, thanking fans and friends for
messages of support and concern.
