VL3 Light Sport pilot reported a tail strike during the landing rollout resulted after increasing pitch to increase aerodynamic braking. After inspection; damage to the rudder was discovered.

Narrative

My passenger became sick in the air and was throwing up into a cup. I wanted to land ASAP to give them a chance to recover I found the closest airport; started flying towards it; and called in to cancel my VFR flight plan. They wanted to know the reason for diversion and cancellation and I let them know I had a passenger throwing up and wanted to get them on the ground.I touched down full stall with full flaps. I had the right wing low and some left rudder in to compensate for about 5 knots of crosswind. I touched down on my right wheel. About 1-2 seconds later the left wheel touched down. I held the nose off the ground to bleed off ground speed quickly. After about five seconds of holding the nose off; I slowly (about a one second to full stick rate) fed in more elevator to bleed off speed more quickly. When I did so; the rudder contacted the ground before I had reached full back stick. I decreased the amount of stick when I heard the contact and finished my rollout normally. A post flight inspection revealed scuffing of the aft portion of the rudder.The aircraft weight at the time of landing was about 1300lb (1320 lb MTOW) and the CG was within range but close to the rear of the range. I've used full up elevator several seconds after landing at flap settings 1 and 2 and the nose doesn't rise as high. I believe a tail strike on rollout in this aircraft - a JMB VL3 light sport experimental aircraft - is a significant risk when landing with full flaps. I don't know whether the rearward CG contributes to the risk.
