Olympics live golf scores, results, highlights from Round 4 leaderboard at 2024 Paris Games

Xander Schauffele began the year as an Olympic champion with a reputation for disappointing in some of golf's biggest events. He has a chance to finish 2024 as a two-time major winner and two-time gold medalist.

Schauffele's dream year has continued with a stellar showing at the 2024 Paris Games, which has him tied with Spain's Jon Rahm at 14-under par through three rounds. Great Britain's Tommy Fleetwood is one stroke off the lead at 13-under, while stars Scottie Scheffler and Rory McIlroy remain in contention but in need of a nearly mistake-free final round.

Schauffele showed again just two weeks ago that he has what it takes to thrive when the pressure is at its highest. He surged ahead of the pack at the Open Championship at Royal Troon to seamlessly capture his second major championship of the year.

Rahm, however, has done the same with wins in the two majors Schauffele hasn't won: the U.S. Open and the Masters. How fitting it is that the Olympic gold medal could come down to two players who, together, complete a grand slam?

Will Schauffele capture a second gold, or will another one of golf's premier names make a move to the top of the podium?

Olympics golf live updates, highlights from Round 4

( All times Eastern .)

10:51 a.m. — Fleetwood makes par at the 15th. He has three holes to catch Scheffler, who has a one-stroke lead and still has yet to play the 18th.

10:48 a.m. — Scheffler makes his birdie putt on 17. That puts him in the lead by one stroke as he heads for his final hole.

10:42 a.m. — Fleetwood's drive on the 15th hits the fairway and safely avoids the water. His approach shot will determine his chances of breaking his tie for first with Scheffler.

10:41 a.m. — Scheffler hits an excellent shot out of the rough on 17 and gets it onto the green. He'll have a nice look at birdie, one that could give him the advantage in the fight for a gold medal.

10:39 a.m. — Victor Perez finishes his day with a tap-in par at the 18th hole. He finishes 16 under for the tournament and is the clubhouse leader, but he will need some help to set up a playoff for bronze.

10:37 a.m. — Scheffler's drive on the 17th misses the fairway left. He didn't end up in the thickest rough, but he still isn't in an ideal spot as he jockeys with Fleetwood for the lead.

10:34 a.m. — Rahm misses his bogey save and settles for a double bogey. He is now 4 over par for his last four holes and is two shots back of Scheffler and Fleetwood's lead.

10:31 a.m. — Scottie Scheffler's run to the top of the leaderboard is complete. He birdied his third consecutive hole to move into a three-way tie with Fleetwood and Rahm. Soon, that will be a tie with only Fleetwood, as Rahm is poised to drop a shot.

10:30 a.m. — Rahm's chip from the rough doesn't quite get onto the green. It rolls back to his feet and he'll need to chip in for par.

The door is open for Fleetwood to take command while Rahm may fall to the ranks of the many at 17 under hoping to contend for a medal.

10:29 a.m. — Oof. Tommy Fleetwood's second shot didn't get into the bunker — it landed just on the lip in some thick rough. He has to chop it out for his third shot. It gets onto the green, but his fourth shot will be a long one for birdie.

10:27 a.m. — Rory finally makes a mistake. He hits his second shot on 15 into the water. It landed just over the walled-off edge but rolled back from the edge of the green and into the drink.

He now has a long putt for bogey after hitting his fourth shot a good distance past the flag.

10:26 a.m. — Rahm's third shot on the 14th misses the green to the short side. It lands just into the long rough, setting up a difficult up and down for par.

10:25 a.m. — For those keeping track at home, Rory McIlroy has birdied all five of his holes on the back nine. If he keeps going at that pace, he will be able to blow by Rahm and Fleetwood atop the leaderboard.

Can either heat up enough to keep Rory at bay?

10:23 a.m. — Rahm and Fleetwood each fail to land their second shots in their desired locations. Fleetwood's comes up just short of the green in two, and may have landed in a bunker, while Rahm chops his out of the tall grass and into the fairway well back of the green.

The two are battling one another, but they have others gaining on them with just five holes to go.

10:22 a.m. — Perez's strong run at a medal seems to be over. He had a nice run at the hole from about 40 feet on the 17th, but he couldn't quite make it. He remains one shot back of bronze, but those ahead of him have more holes remaining than him.

10:18 a.m. — Scheffler seems poised to join the growing group of golfers at 17 under. He hit his approach on 15 within a few feet of the hole and should have a tap-in opportunity for birdie.

10:12 a.m. — McIlroy's eagle putt on 14 came up just short of curling in. He taps in for par, however, and that ties him for bronze with Matsuyama.

10:10 a.m. — Rahm and Fleetwood both make par on the 13th. They remain tied atop the leaderboard with five holes left to go.

10:08 a.m. — Matsuyama's approach shot on the 14th misses left and lands in the rough. He still may have a chance to birdie the Par 5 hole, but he'll need a terrific third shot.

McIlroy gets to the green in two, so that could position him to challenge Rahm and Fleetwood.

10:07 a.m. — The good news: Schauffele hit his most recent shot from a distance close to the hole to give himself a quality one-putt chance. The bad news: it was his fourth shot on a Par 4, as he hit his second into the water.

10:02 a.m. — Perez nails his birdie putt on the 15th. He is now one shot back of the bronze medal spot currently held by Matsuyama.

10:01 a.m. — As Fleetwood and Rahm go head-to-head, the Englishman gets the ball on the green at 13, but it is very far from the hole. Rahm's shot into the 13th hopped over the green and into the fringe, so Fleetwood will have the easier path to a solid score on the hole.

10 a.m. — Victor Perez continues to make his improbable medal push. The Frenchman hits the green on the Par 3 16th. He'll have a birdie putt with a chance to get within one shot of the podium.

9:56 a.m. — Schauffele's bogey on the 12th puts him three shots off the lead. It's hard to imagine him making a run at a second consecutive gold now, especially with Rory McIlroy moving in front of him.

9:53 a.m. — And Fleetwood has erased Rahm's lead. He birdies the 12th hole to set up a showdown between himself, Rahm and the field over the final six holes.

9:51 a.m. — Rahm barely misses a mid-range par putt on the 12th hole. She taps in for bogey but drops another shot. Fleetwood and Matsuyama are now just one shot back of him.

9:48 a.m. — Schauffele is having plenty of trouble on the 12th hole. He hit it from the thick stuff on the right into the thick stuff on the right. He couldn't get the ball to the green on his third shot, so it seems likely he will drop a shot on this hole.

9:40 a.m. — Victor Perez has officially moved into the top 10 after nailing an eagle putt on the 14th hole. He'll need to do well over his last four holes to have a chance to medal, but he is 4 under through his last three holes. If he stays hot, maybe he can push some of the names at the top.

9:37 a.m. — Matsuyama makes a birdie to tie Fleetwood for the silver medal. Both golfers look poised to challenge Rahm coming down the stretch.

9:36 a.m. — All of a sudden, Rahm is starting to struggle. He hits his tee shot left on the 12th hole, causing it to crash near a bunker. He may have an awkward stance trying to get the ball back into the fairway or onto the green.

Schauffele's tee shot went the other way. It dove into thick rough on the right side of the 12th hole which will give him plenty of trouble. His chances of catching Rahm continue to dwindle as the fourth round progresses.

9:34 a.m. — Rahm appeared to have a short, tap-in-style par opportunity on the 11th hole. However, he missed it, as it lipped out of the hole. He settled for a bogey and now holds just a two-shot lead over Fleetwood.

Things are starting to open up once again at Le National.

9:32 a.m. — And here comes Rory McIlroy! His second shot on the 12th hole is near-perfect, crashing down next to the hole and setting him up for what should be a tap-in birdie.

If McIlroy converts, he will match Scheffler in fifth place and move within a shot of the bronze.

9:31 a.m. — Tommy Fleetwood is getting hot with the putter. He sinks a birdie on the 11th hole to move within three shots of Rahm.

Schauffele also birdies the hole, putting him ahead of Scheffler again and tying him with Matsuyama for bronze honors.

9:30 a.m. — Scheffler curls in a birdie putt at the 12th. He's now level with Schauffele, as the two Americans remain one stroke back of Matsuyama for the bronze medal placement.

9:26 a.m. — With Rahm's path to a gold medal looking relatively clear — barring any major mistakes by the Spaniard — the battle for silver may be the most interesting part of the back nine.

Nine players are within four strokes of a podium spot. Fleetwood and Matsuyama have the inside track for silver and bronze, but Schauffele, Scheffler and McIlroy are all lurking within striking distance. Should any of the world's top three players get hot at the right time, Fleetwood and Matsuyama could find themselves hanging onto their respective positions for dear life.

9:23 a.m. — Rahm makes his sixth birdie of the last 18 holes. He's running away with the competition with seven holes left to play, as he sports a four-stroke lead.

9:21 a.m. — Rory McIlroy is also starting to make a run. He has birdied his last two holes to match Scheffler in a tie for fifth place. Can either do enough to get onto the podium?

9:20 a.m. — Don't look now, but Victor Perez has made another birdie. He's 12 under for the tournament through 13 holes, but an eagle on the upcoming Par 5 could put him in the mix for a medal.

9:19 a.m. — Tommy Fleetwood very nearly made another long birdie putt. It just lipped out, denying him a chance to gain another shot on Rahm.

9:18 a.m. — Scottie Scheffler started the day with three consecutive birdies. Then, he made six straight pars. He finally got another birdie on the 10th hole to move himself within one stroke of his countryman Xander Schauffele.

Perhaps this will begin a hot streak for the world's No. 1 golfer.

9:16 a.m. — Tom Kim misses a short par putt to drop a shot. He is now three strokes back of a potential medal.

9:12 a.m. — Xander Schauffele also hits the fairway to start the back nine. His performance will be critical moving forward, as he begins the final nine holes in fourth place, one stroke behind Matsuyama and Fleetwood for a spot on the podium.

9:10 a.m. — The top group is entering the back nine with Rahm sporting a nice, three-stroke cushion over Fleetwood. Rahm's goal should be to avoid big-time mistakes off the tee, and he gets off to a good start by hitting the fairway on the 10th hole.

9:04 a.m. — Or maybe not! Tommy Fleetwood makes birdie to move into second place ahead of Schauffele. Rahm remains ahead of the Englishman but it will only be by a maximum of three strokes.

9:03 a.m. — Schauffele's haywire second shot costs him a chance to birdie the ninth. Meanwhile, Rahm looks likely to make another birdie putt after guiding his eagle effort close to the hole. That will likely add another stroke to the Spaniard's lead.

9:01 a.m. — Frenchman Victor Perez birdies the 12th hole to move to 11 under at the Olympics. He probably won't medal, but the crowd is giving him plenty of love as he makes it around the course in Paris.

8:56 a.m. — Schauffele's second shot on the key, Par 5 ninth goes wide left and lands in the rough. It didn't look like he got a good lie, so that will make it tough for him to get up and down for birdie.

Rahm, meanwhile, hits the green and is positioned to two-putt for birdie — unless he can make a lengthy eagle putt.

8:54 a.m. — After dodging the water on his tee shot on the 10th, Tom Kim hits his second just past the hole. He will have a nice look at a birdie that could move him into a four-way tie for second.

8:52 a.m. — Joaquin Niemann came up short of the green on the Par 3 11th, which is one of the easiest on the course. That will hurt his chances of climbing into medal contention.

Also, Clark misses his birdie putt, leaving him at 11 under with four holes left to play.

8:49 a.m. — Wyndham Clark nearly holed out for an eagle on the Par 5 14th hole. He will have a birdie putt to move him to 12 under for the tournament.

8:47 a.m. — The leaders all tee off on the Par 5 ninth hole. Each of them hits the fairway, which should set them up to go for the green in two.

Schauffele needs a bounce-back after his bogey on the eighth while Rahm will look to extend his lead beyond three strokes in his quest for a gold medal.

8:43 a.m. — Schauffele had a short par putt on the eighth hole, but he misses it. That extends Rahm's lead to three with 10 holes left to play.

8:42 a.m. — From earlier, Nicolai Hojgaard is looking to work his way onto the podium. Chipping in off the green will help him in his quest to achieve that.

8:41 a.m. — Wow, Rahm saves par on the eighth hole with a pristine putt on his third shot. That will keep him at least two shots ahead of Schauffele and represents his best score on the eighth hole all week.

8:40 a.m. — Fleetwood bounces back after his bogey on the seventh. He sinks a long birdie putt on the eighth to move back into a tie for bronze with Hideki Matsuyama.

8:38 a.m. — Rahm hits a high, second shot onto the green and gets it to tumble toward the hole. It still came up well short, but he will at least have a look at birdie and should, at the very least, save bogey.

8:33 a.m. — Fleetwood hits the best shot on the eighth, as he hits the green while Schauffele's effort comes up just short to the right. The English star will have a chance to bounce back after a bogey on his last hole while Schauffele will look to chip in from a distance.

8:31 a.m. — Rahm is on the eighth hole, which he has bogeyed in each of the tournament's first three rounds. He misses his tee shot well off the left and into the rough, so he will need an excellent second shot to get up-and-down at the Par 3.

8:28 a.m. — Wyndham Clark continues to stay hot. He birdies the 13th hole to move into a tie for ninth place. If not for his 4-over 75 in the tournament's first round, he'd be in the running for a medal.

8:26 a.m. — Rahm knocks in his easy birdie putt. That extends his lead over Schauffele to two shots.

8:25 a.m. — Fleetwood misses his par putt, but he saves bogey. That moves him into a tie for fourth place with Tom Kim and gives Matsuyama sole possession of third place.

8:23 a.m. — Tommy Fleetwood is struggling on the seventh hole. He hit his first shot well into the rough and followed that up by landing his second shot into the bunker. His third shot gets onto the green, but he will have a long putt to save par on the hole.

A dropped shot would move momentarily Fleetwood out of a tie for bronze.

8:21 a.m. — Rahm continues to showcase good form. He hits his approach on the seventh hole exactly where he wanted to — hole high and just right of the flagstick. He will have a great chance to birdie the hole and continue to put pressure on Schauffele.

8:19 a.m. — Here comes Tom Kim! The South Korean star makes his third consecutive birdie to move to 14 under for the tournament.

Kim's combination of accuracy and solid putting makes him a nice fit on this course, which lacks distance, so he could make a run at a spot on the podium as the day continues.

8:16 a.m. — Wyndham Clark has one of the best rounds going on the course. He is 5-under through 12 holes and has moved to 10-under for the tournament.

The No. 5 overall golfer in the world doesn't seem likely to medal, but if he can get hot over his last six holes, he will work his way toward the top of the leaderboard.

8:15 a.m. — Matsuyama had a long birdie putt on the seventh hole that would have tied him with Schauffele for second place. He ran the uphill stroke well past the hole. Now, he's facing a downhill par putt that's a bit longer than he hoped.

8:09 a.m. — Rahm birdies the sixth hole by making a lengthy putt. For the first time all day, Schauffele isn't able to answer his counterpart, as his birdie effort dove just right of the hole in the final inches. That gives the Spaniard a one-shot lead through six holes.

8 a.m. — Scoring conditions are good at Le National on Sunday. Many of the leaders are off to strong starts, with Scottie Scheffler moving his way into medal contention with birdies on each of the first three holes to get started.

Jon Rahm and Xander Schauffele are still atop the field to start the day, but Tommy Fleetwood and Hideki Matsuyama are making moves to try to catch them. It should be a close finish, and there are plenty still in medal contention on men's golf's final day.
