When it comes to the Olympics, the fight is considered more important than the triumph. But often, it is the competitor who fights hardest wearing the gold medal in the end. On Sunday at Le Golf National, that person was Scottie Scheffler, who, as he’s frequently done, made the fight look effortless, knocking down flags and rolling in birdie putt after birdie putt — finally — to the tune of 9-under 62. Scheffler’s back nine, a 6-under 29 on the more demanding half of this championship layout, was especially brilliant, and as Scheffler walked to scoring with the clubhouse lead, two threesomes still on the course, his dad, Scott, gave his son a quick hug and told him to, “Go warm up.”

Scottie Scheffler leaves Olympics with both gratitude and gold
