SAINT-QUENTIN-EN-YVELINES, France — There are only three positions that matter in the Olympics, and after 36 holes there are three of the game’s top players stride for stride at the top of the board, two clear of the field. But here’s the thing: All of them walked off Le Golf National Friday feeling less than satisfied and more than a little uncomfortable.

A common trap in golf instruction is that we throw certain terms around without agreeing on the specific definition. Maybe the greatest of these misunderstandings is what instructors and pros mean by a straight shot. If the objective is trying to hit a shot as close to the target as possible, that’s worthwhile. But if it’s about hitting a shot with no curve, this could be a problem.

How can Astrology tell you about your worst friends? Astrology is the concept of using the placement of the planets and their related astrological signs, or the Signs of the Zodiac, to determine the course of a life. These placements based on your birth date, time, and location can give you a wealth of information about your personality traits and character and predict events throughout your life based on your sign and current placements. Of course, this is a quick overview, and doing actual natal charts and horoscopes is much more complicated. But now you have a basic idea of what astrology is.

Rory McIlroy has accomplished a lot in his illustrious career, but the four-time major champ nearly pulled off an all-time first on Friday: make an albatross at the Olympics. During the second round at Le Golf National, McIlroy just missed dunking a long iron from 260 yards on the par 5 third hole. Instead, his golf ball clanged off the flagstick and settled about four feet away.

Nothing can stop the Xander Schauffele train right now. Not even a pile of ants. On Friday at Le Golf National, the champion golfer of the year began his second round at the Olympics five under through the first 12 holes, surging to the top of the leader board in his quest for a second gold medal to go with the won he claimed at Tokyo in 2021. He finally slipped up at the par-4 13th, though, missing his drive left of the fairway and finding, as he referred to it, "the long stuff."
