Last Saturday, Jon Rahm held a six-shot lead after 54 holes in the Memorial Tournament before being told he had tested positive for COVID-19 and was forced to withdraw.
This Saturday was much better.
The world No. 3 tweeted that he has been cleared to play in the U.S. Open starting next Thursday on the South Course at Torrey Pines in San Diego.
“After two negative tests in a 24 hour span and being cleared by health officials, it’s time to get ready for the US Open. Vamos!!” Rahm tweeted. He added a GIF of Sylvester Stallone as the movie character Rambo.

Rahm’s status for the U.S. Open was in doubt. He was forced to quarantine for 10 days but two negative PCR tests 24 hours apart ended the quarantine.
Rahm is one of the pre-tournament favorites. He has five PGA Tour titles, the first coming at Torrey Pines in the 2017 Farmers Insurance Open.
