Jon Rahm, the defending champion of the US Open, has withdrawn from this week's tournament at Pinehurst due to an injured foot. Rahm, who pulled out of the LIV Houston event after six holes of the second round due to an infection in his left foot, arrived at the North Carolina course hoping for recovery time.
However, Rahm announced his withdrawal on social media, citing concerns for his long-term health after consulting with doctors and his team. He expressed disappointment over the decision but emphasized the necessity for his well-being.
During a news conference earlier on Tuesday, Rahm explained the severity of his foot injury, expressing uncertainty about its healing process. Despite efforts to control the infection and manage the pain, Rahm's foot condition remained a concern, leading to his decision to withdraw from the tournament.
