Xander Schauffele is a man in high demand right now. The American captured two of the four major championships this year and is going for gold at the Olympics. Even if he doesn't triumph at Paris 2024, the 30-year-old could still pip Scottie Scheffler to the player of the year award.

Look at that leaderboard. It's damn near perfect. Rahm and Xander tied. Big names everywhere with Scottie, Rory, Aberg and Day lurking. Even with Steve Sands talking about the race to the podium 2 holes into today, it's worth it now. I know it's Olympic golf. I know it's not what we have all the time, but it should be. Not to mention you get days like today. Dudes throwing punches, putting up low scores, answering other people.

Changing the way you hold the club is one of the toughest adjustments to work on, but it's necessary if you're making this common mistake with your grip. Take a look at this golf glove that I've drawn some lines on to illustrate the problem. Many amateur golfers hold the club with the grip laying in the palm of their gloved hand—see the red lines in the photo below. When you hold the club predominantly in your palm, you can't release it properly in the downswing. Not only does that make it much harder to square the clubface at impact, it also restricts your ability to give the shot some "pop" because you don't have any energy to release at the bottom of the swing.

The way you hold the club might be costing you a bunch of yards

A lingering thumb injury has knocked Englishman Matt Fitzpatrick out of the Olympics. The International Golf Federation announced on Saturday that the 2022 U.S. Open champion had withdrawn with a right thumb strain. Fitzpatrick pulled out after persevering through a third round of 81 at Le Golf National to put him at five over. That effort came only a day after he fired a 64 on Friday. He opened with a 73.

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.

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."

SAINT-QUENTIN-EN-YVELINES, France — Six years ago, in the early summer before the run-up to the Ryder Cup got particularly intense, a French professional golfer of some note told the New York Times, “If you say to people in France that you play golf, they will say: ‘No, but really. What’s your real job?’ Golf is not a good thing here. It’s for rich people and spoiled kids.”
