Scottie Scheffler Wins Olympic Golf Gold

At the Paris 2024 Olympics, Scottie Scheffler of the USA claimed gold in men's golf with an impressive final score of 19-under, edging out Great Britain's Tommy Fleetwood, who finished with a silver medal at 18-under. Fleetwood, who was tied for the lead heading into the final holes, faltered with a crucial bogey on the 17th but managed to secure par on the 18th, ensuring his second Olympic medal. Japan's Hideki Matsuyama took bronze, rounding out the podium after a strong performance. Scheffler's victory marked his seventh title of the season, reinforcing his status as world number one. Fleetwood's silver is particularly remarkable given his struggles in previous competitions, including a 16th place finish in Tokyo and a missed cut in his last major. The event showcased thrilling golf, with notable performances from Victor Perez and Rory McIlroy.
