World No. 1 Wins Olympic Gold in Men’s Golf #

The Olympic men’s golf competition came down to a battle between Jon Rahm and Scottie Scheffler. Rahm held a four-shot lead with seven holes to go, seemingly on his way to victory. However, Scheffler mounted an impressive comeback, shooting a final-round 62 to win the gold medal. Tommy Fleetwood finished in second place, while Hideki Matsuayama took the bronze. Rahm’s hopes for a medal faded as he struggled on the back nine. Xander Schauffele, who started the day tied for the lead, had a disappointing round and finished tied for ninth.
