KAWAGOE, Japan: Mexican golfer Carlos Ortiz has felt right at home on the Kasumigaseki Country Club course and sits just one off the lead at Tokyo 2020: but unlike his fellow golfers he's commuting to work from the Olympic Village.But Ortiz prefers the communal feel of the village some 60 km away, where he wakes up early to prepare for his 75-minute ride in."I don't think he has any idea about golf," Ortiz said.
Asked if the village's strict COVID-19 restrictions have caused any problems, he said:"Everybody is wearing masks all the time... I feel safe."Ortiz shot a 67 on Friday to go to ten under par, leaving him one shot behind American Xander Schauffele when the second round was suspended due to bad weather.
