Former champion Jon Rahm has withdrawn from the 124th US Open due to injury.

Rahm was forced out of the LIV Golf League event in Houston during Saturday’s second round because of an infection in his left foot and arrived for his pre-tournament press conference at Pinehurst wearing one shoe and one flip-flop.
