Scheffler shoots 62 to win Gold while Rahm blows 4 shot lead with 9 to play.

I know how hard golf is, I'm not going to beat up Jon Rahm. He had a 4 shot lead with 9 to go and not only lost, he didn't medal at all. Congrats to Scheffler he is having an all-time great year his iron accuracy is incredible.

LIV is ruining these great golfers, LIV guys always start hard and fast and fade in rounds 3 and 4.

Yeah, that crossed my mind. Dechambeau is the exception. I find the LIV TV broadcast unwatchable.

DeChambeau is on the rise. He is where Koepka was when he was in the PGA, to his benefit he started his rise in LIV, which seems to be benefiting him in the majors, unlike those already winning majors like Rahm and Koepka and Johnson.

LIV is unwatchable for sure, I doubt they get much viewership, but the Saudi's got enough money to throw at these guys.

Don't forget Tommy Fleetwood from England in second place .
With a hair cut and beard trim he would have won gold -- but the organisers made sure he would not -- far too scruffy looking . Bad for the game's image .
