Rahm’s six-shot Memorial lead comes to abrupt endSpaniard misses chance to recapture world No 1 spotJon Rahm walked off the 18th green after tying the 54-hole record and building a six-shot lead which left him on the verge of joining Tiger Woods as the only repeat winners of the Memorial.
Moments later, he was doubled over and saying: “Not again,” having been notified he had tested positive for the
Coronavirus and consequently was out of the tournament. A commanding performance, which included a hole-in-one Saturday morning to complete his second round followed by an eight-under 64 to tie two Memorial records, went to waste.
