Talk about a disaster for the Spanish golfer John Rahm, the former two time Irish Open winner had a six shot lead heading into the final day at the USPGA Memorial Tournament in Ohio. But has been pulled from the field after testing positive for Covid 19. We wish him a speedy recovery, you got to feel for the Rahm especially when he was going so well, but safety comes first.

Hopefully John Rahm makes a speedy recovering with more Majors not too far away and of course the Ryder Cup this year, where Padraig Harrington will be looking at John Rahm as one of his key men for team Europe. Jon Rahm has recently become a father and is at the time of his game, currently ranked third in the world of Golf.
