At Le Golf National, site of this week’s Olympic men’s golf competition and the 2018 Ryder Cup, Jon Rahm and Xander Schauffele are tied for the lead after 54 holes.
Trailing just one stroke behind the two-time major champions is Tommy Fleetwood, who has a strong chance to win the gold medal despite having concerns with the golf ball all week. For Fleetwood, it would be the biggest win of his career so far. And trailing just three strokes behind the leader are Nikolai Højgaard and Hideki Matsuyama, who have both posted some pretty low scores this week already. Højgaard tied the course record with a 9-under 62 on Saturday, while Matsuyama, the 2021 Masters winner, shot an 8-under 63 on Thursday to take an early lead. Undoubtedly, both players could post low scores again on Sunday.
Rory McIlroy and Scottie Scheffler are at 10 under, as are Tom Kim and Thomas Detry.
Kim is from South Korea and faces uncertainty in his home country: If he finishes in the top three and wins a medal, he’ll be exempt from military service, which all South Korean men must do by the age of 35. But if he doesn’t, military service looms.
