Gold Medal: Xander Schauffle - US
Silver Medal: Rory Sabbatini - Slovakia
Bronze Medal: C.T. Pan - Taiwan
From the PGA TOUR Daily Wrap-up, by AP:
Xander Schauffele won an Olympic gold medal he badly wanted by overcoming more pressure than he could have imagined Sunday.
Right when Schauffele appeared to lose his firm grip on the gold, the 27-year-old American responded with two clutch putts at the end for a 4-under 67 and a one-shot victory over Rory Sabbatini of Slovakia in a wild finish to the men's golf competition. Read more

A heartbreaking bogey on the final hole has cruelled Australian Cameron Smith’s hopes of an Olympic medal in Tokyo.

He would finish in a tie for 10th behind Xander Schauffele who clung on in a dramatic finish. Read more

From Golf.com:
Let me take you to the scene at No. 18 tee at about 3:25 a.m. Eastern Standard Time (4:25 p.m. local time), when seven of the world’s best golfers headed back to the course to play for the illustrious honor of solo third place.
In wonderfully Olympic fashion, the seven pros in the bronze-medal bonanza represented seven different nationalities. One guy (Collin Morikawa) had just won his second major championship in less than a year. Another guy (Rory McIlroy) was the proud owner of twice that many. A third (Mito Pereira) was playing on the Korn Ferry Tour a few weeks ago. And that was less than half the playoff’s competitors. Read more
