You know, it kind of started through the locker room last week -- there's only 30 guys. So I just happened to get it. I've got a weak immune system.
American team doctors will be closely monitoring one of their biggest stars in a bid to patch him up ready to partner Webb Simpson in Friday afternoons foursomes.
Watson did manage to jokes: I couldnt care less about them. I'm trying to get me healthy.
