(Reuters) - Former champion Jon Rahm said the foot infection that led to his withdrawal from last week's LIV Golf event remains a concern ahead of this week's U.S. Open and he did little to clear up his status for the year's third major.
Rahm, who arrived for his pre-tournament media availability wearing a flip-flop on his left foot to keep the area dry and a shoe on his right foot, said the infection is under control but he has a skin lesion between his pinky toe and the next toe and that the area is still swollen and causing him pain.
