Foot Injury: Jon Rahm Withdraws LIV Event – Start at US Open Jeopardised?

Jon Rahm is not happy with his sporting life at the moment. The LIV Golf League‘s multi-million purchase is unfamiliar with the competitive circuit, isn’t really getting into his stride as a golfer either, hasn’t played a role in the majors so far this year – tied 45th at the Masters Tournament, missed the cut at the PGA Championship – and now even has to fear for his start at the US Open this week on the No. 2 course at Pinehurst.

Jon Rahm’s US Open 2024 in jeopardy?

Rahm, now number seven in the world, is suffering from inflammation in his left foot and had to pull out of the LIV event at the weekend in Houston/Texas during the second round as a result. The problems had already become apparent on the opening day; according to the LIV, the two-time major winner from Spain probably has a cut between his toes, which has apparently become infected. However, the bookmakers still have Rahm at 16-1 odds to win his second US Open triumph after Torrey Pines in 2021.

St. Andrews: “Irresponsible and Reckless” Approach Shot from Pavement

On the pavement outside the Dunvegan Hotel in St Andrews, Scotland, a guy chases a golf ball over the rooftops of ‘The Auld Grey Toon’ towards the St. Andrews Old Course, 18th green. And hits it – the green, fortunately not some evening strollers in front of the clubhouse of the Royal and Ancient Golf Club. Some celebrate the guy as a hero, he also celebrates himself and even tries to market his ‘Dunvegan Shot’.

Criticism of the golf swing and statement from St Andrews

Others – rightly and fortunately in the majority – shake their heads at the absurd action. The St Andrews Links Trust is also not amused by Wyatt Messmer’s behaviour: ‘This is an irresponsible and reckless act that shows disregard for the safety of the public and property. This type of behaviour is not welcome at the Home of Golf and we would discourage anyone from repeating it.” Well, passion for golf can sometimes lead to truly strange behaviour.
