Jon Rahm

It was from an infection that wasn’t healing properly. Supposedly they stopped the infection before US Open, but he was still dealing with swelling & soreness. I believe he made the decision to WD to let it properly heal & not turn it into a long term injury.

Safe to assume he’s back to 100% after the extra rest

“The main reason for the withdrawal the last two events was the infection I had and just to be precautionary toward not making it worse and seeing what steps I can take to prevent that from happening in the future,” he said at The Grove. “The wound is still there. I’m not going to show any graphic pictures, but it’s still there. It’s manageable now. I’m not going to really make it worse.”

The dude put a picture of his foot on X during the open. It was kind of gross.

I didn't see that . It's good that he is healing.

Spoke too soon. This is from his press conference today.

Q. Your injury completely healed, you're feeling great out there?

JON RAHM: I wouldn't say completely, but I played nearly 18 holes pain-free. I mean, that's probably why I hit it so much better. Yesterday it bugged me a little bit, and it's just in the back of your head for a second, at least it was yesterday, but not today. Never really questioned not being able to swing it, and I think that's what made the difference.

Q. Jon, when you were here earlier this week, you weren't really sure how - it seemed like you weren't really sure how things would play out this week with the injury. Are you a bit surprised?

JON RAHM: Yes and no. I hit balls in my simulator at home on Monday before flying on Tuesday, and I had the speed. The only question was walking 18. Yesterday towards the last four or five holes, I started noticing that a little bit. But today, tried to hydrate a little bit more in the morning and maybe get a little bit more food in me to account for that, and feel like I did a pretty good job of mitigating that. I feel like the more I play, the more comfortable I'm going to get with it. I'm always confident I can shoot low. I just didn't know how it was going to play out.

Having a melt,on the 6th, hit 2 in the water, was only 2 back

Seems like he and Bob MacIntyre have similar thoughts on drones.
