The Toric Ideal of a Matroid of Rank 3 is Generated by Quadrics

White conjectured that the toric ideal associated with the basis of a matroid is generated by quadrics corresponding to symmetric exchanges. We present a combinatorial proof of White's conjecture for matroids of rank 3 by using a lemma proposed by Blasiak.
