Scottie Scheffler, the world No. 1 golfer, added another impressive achievement to his resume by winning his first gold medal representing Team USA in the Olympic golf tournament. Scheffler, who has won the Masters twice and has 12 victories on the PGA Tour, shot a 9-under, bogey-free final round at Le Golf National to secure the win.
As the U.S. national anthem played and the American flag was raised, Scheffler was visibly emotional, with tears in his eyes as he placed his hand over his heart. This victory comes amidst a whirlwind year for Scheffler, which included winning the Masters and facing a bizarre arrest at the PGA Championship shortly after the birth of his first child.
Scheffler’s win at the Olympic tournament is a testament to his skill and dedication to the sport, highlighting his ability to perform on the international stage. He will next compete at the FedEx St. Jude Championship, the first event of the FedExCup playoffs, in August.
Scheffler’s success at the Olympics has further solidified his status as one of the top golfers in the world, showcasing his ability to excel in high-pressure situations and represent his country with pride. With this gold medal win, Scheffler has proven once again that he is a force to be reckoned with in the world of professional golf.
