SAN DIEGO – Jon Rahm withdrew from last week’s American Express with what he described as a “tweak” he suffered while in the gym, but don’t expect that vague injury to slow him at Torrey Pines.

“That was blown out of proportion like crazy,” Rahm said. “I think it was more overdoing it in the winter, maybe not getting rest. I could have played last week. I decided not to just because I didn't want to force it; I just wanted to be 100 percent sure it was going to be fine for this week.
