Captain Rahm of Legion XIII retreats down the road. 2 in Houston

HUMBLE, Texas – Legion XIII captain Jon Rahm withdrew due to an infection in his left foot after six holes of Saturday’s second round at LIV Golf Houston.

Rahm shot a 3-under 69 in Friday’s first round at The Golf Club of Houston and aced all six holes he played Saturday before deciding to withdraw.

Rahm is currently second in individual points through his first seven tournaments since joining LIV Golf last December to captain the Legion XIII expansion team. He remains scheduled to compete in the US Open next week, which he won in 2021.

The scores of Legion XIII’s three remaining players — first-round co-leader Caleb Surratt, Tyrrell Hatton and Kieran Vincent — will count toward Saturday’s team scores. Legion XIII will add reserve player Ben Campbell for Sunday’s final round, in which all four scores count for each team.

Campbell is ranked 11th in the International Series standings this season.

While all three reserve players are now in action this week – John Catlin replaced Charles Howell III for the Crushers GC ahead of round one, while Wade Ormsby replaced Stingers GC captain Louis Oosthuizen ahead of round two – Luis Carrera from Mexico was recalled. to be a reserve for Sunday’s final round.

Carrera, who has made five starts on three different tours this year, was also a reserve at LIV golf tournaments this season in Miami, Las Vegas and Jeddah.
