SAD NEWS: Fleetwood best player announce his departure due to...

American Scottie Scheffler wins gold in the men’s Olympic golf competition with a final score of 19 under par at Le Golf National, as Britain’s Tommy Fleetwood settles for silver – one shot behind – and Hideki Matsuyama claims bronze

Fleetwood fired a final-day 66 to fall one stroke short of Scheffler’s 19 under par total after the world No 1 had tied the course record of nine-under 62, with six birdies in his back-nine 29.

The 33-year-old from Southport was level with USA’s Scheffler with two to play, but a bogey on the 17th cost him dearly.

Despite that slip-up, Fleetwood said the achievement felt “unbelievably special”.

“There’s part of me that’s disappointed, of course, but at the same time I never dreamt I would be an Olympic medallist,” he said.
