- Rahm’s six-shot Memorial lead comes to abrupt end
- Spaniard misses chance to recapture world No 1 spot
Jon Rahm walked off the 18th green after tying the 54-hole record and building a six-shot lead which left him on the cusp 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 knocked out of the tournament.
