The Barrika golfer made these statements in the press conference prior to his participation in the United States Open, which begins this Thursday, the 13th.
“It’s a concern. It’s getting better, it’s getting better, but I’m definitely still in pain. We’re trying to understand what happened, because I think it’s most likely a skin problem; if I had to show it to you, it’s at the bottom, between my little finger and the next finger,” Rahm said in the press conference prior to the “major”, which is held at the Pinehurst Resort & Country Club in North Carolina (United States).
“I don’t know what happened, but it became infected. I was in a lot of pain. In the round last Saturday, in the morning, I gave myself an injection to numb the area. It was going to last the whole round, but by the second hole I was already in pain” , he continued.
“The infection was the worrying part. It’s under control now, but it’s still swollen and I’m in pain. There’s a reason I came here in a shoe and a flip-flop: I’m trying to keep the area dry, so it heals as soon as possible.” “I do what I can, the human body has its rhythms,” he concluded.
Rahm, who did not play a leading role in the two previous major tournaments of the season, He has also shown himself with confidence, and has considered that this year he has only had two weeks in which he has not played good golf, precisely at Augusta and in the PGA Championship.
