On Monday, PGA Tour rookie Marco Penge officially earned an exemption into the U.S. Open

thanks to being inside the top 60 of the World Ranking. But the Spaniard, who turned 28 last week, says he won’t be playing again until at least then in order to focus on his health. On social media, Penge noted that he suffered from a sinus infection and vertigo symptoms ahead of the PGA Championship and that he's had recurring issues with his ear/neck/nervous system since a viral infection last November. Thankfully an MRI last week ahead of Aronimink offered results that he described as “a big relief.” But after missing the PGA cut, Penge—who we've documented previously as having one of the most powerful swings on tour—decided shutting it down to try to get fully healthy. "I'll come back as soon as I feel fit and healthy," he told the DP World Tour. "That could be in two weeks or two months, I don't know right now. But I'm hoping for the U.S. Open. Sooner the better!"
