PARIS — American Scottie Scheffler won the gold medal at the men’s Olympic golf competition on Sunday with a final score of 19 under par at Le Golf National, south of the city.
He turned in a final-round 62, which included six birdies on the back nine. He closed with birdies on holes 15 through 18.
The World No. 1 finished one shot ahead of Britain’s Tommy Fleetwood (66), who took silver at 18 under. Japan’s Hideki Matsuyama (65) was two shots back to claim the bronze medal, improving on his tie for fourth place on home soil in Tokyo three years ago.
For Scheffler, this is his seventh victory of 2024. His wins include The Players Championship and the Masters Tournament.
