SCOTTIE SCHEFFLER WINS GOLD IN GOLF FOR USA #Olympics #Paris2024 #ParisOlympics #pga

Golf fans were treated to a fantastic finish in the final round of golf at the 2024 Paris Olympics from Le Golf National on Sunday.

Three years after Xander Schauffele won gold for Team USA at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics, the United States brought home another — this one from Scottie Scheffler, who turned in the best score of the day at 9-under 62. He needed every bit of brilliance to finish at 19-under for the tournament, one stroke ahead of Great Britain's Tommy Fleetwood (-18). Japan's Hideki Matsuyama brought home bronze with a final score of 17-under par.

Scheffler, who entered Sunday's Round 4 in a tie for sixth place at 10-under par, started his final round on a tear: He earned birdies on each of his first three holes to quickly jump to 13-under before earning par scores on the remaining six holes on the front nine. He was even better on the back nine, carding six more birdies (including four straight on Holes 14-17) to finish in a tie with Fleetwood at the time his round was completed.
