Fleetwood wins silver

The Paris Olympics have been utterly thrilling so far, and we’re jealous of all the spectators that had a front-row-seat to all the action unfolding at Le Golf National. Scottie Scheffler was again on peak form at the Olympics, adding a gold medal to this year’s impressive achievements.

A final day 62 that included a roaring final stretch of four birdies over the final five holes was enough for Scheffler to secure first place in the men’s stroke play on Sunday, finishing on 19-under-par.

Tommy Fleetwood gave a valiant performance, but a bogey on the 17^th hole on his final round had him narrowly miss out on battling Scheffler for the gold. He was sporting a well-earned silver medal on the winner’s podium.

While he may have felt a slight disappointment at missing out on the gold, Fleetwood was thrilled with his performance and time spent representing Team GB this week “Standing on that podium with a medal in front of the crowd was one of the most amazing moments I’ve had as a golfer. So I’ll remember all those times for the rest of my life.”

Hideki Matsuyama played consistently well throughout the tournament, and finished a shot behind Fleetwood to secure his bronze medal.

Jon Rahm was looking promising, but four bogeys and a double bogey on his final 9 holes caused him to fall down the leaderboard. France’s Victor Perez delighted his home crowd with an excellent 8-under-par final round, and he finished in fourth behind Matsuyama.

The Olympics continue to wow us with athletes of all disciplines giving it their all. We’re looking forward to seeing how the women’s strokeplay goes this weekend. Will Nelly Korda get another Olympic medal? If you’re visiting the club this week, why not visit us in the pro shop? We’re here for you.
