John Rahm made headlines a few weeks ago when he was forced to withdraw for The Memorial Tournament with a huge lead heading into Sunday. Rahm had a positive COVID test come back, but was able to test negative a few times in order to be allowed to play the U.S. Open.
“I feel like coming in here without having practiced much relaxed me a little bit,” Rahm said via Sports Illustrated.. “I thought, you know what, in case I play bad, I have an excuse. I have a bailout in case. I can convince myself, ‘Hey, I had COVID.’”
Despite a whirlwind year, John Rahm and Kelley Cahill now have another reason to celebrate. Soak it all in, Jon! You are now a major champion.
