DUBLIN, Ohio -- Jon Rahm, leading the Memorial Tournament by six strokes, was informed following Saturday's third round that he tested positive for COVID-19 and was withdrawn from the tournament.
Rahm was given the news by PGA Tour medical personnel as he walked off the 18th green at Muirfield Village Golf Club, where he immediately broke down.
According to the PGA Tour, Rahm had been tested every day as part of testing protocols due to contact tracing. He was given the option of playing with the stipulation that he would need to be tested every day.
