Paris Olympics 2024

[Tony’s Carp]

Rory, Rahm and Tommy all completely choked it, shows what it means. Scottie is just next level mentally.

….weird, they play for £millions on tour and get nervous playing for pieces of metal.

I wonder how this compares in golfers minds to a major? It's only really golf football and basketball maybe 7s rugby that the olympics isn't seen as the pinnacle of the sport.

Yeah game over. Surely too far away to birdie that and he probably shouldn't be taking too many chances now either.

Would be some shot to get a birdie from there

Tennis too

To be fair, when Scheffler is pulling out a course record on the final day, no one has a chance

Think a lot of the golfers initially weren't arsed but once they've been involved they all talk about the excitement and extra nerves that come from representing their country and being part of a big national team.

Decent effort

 

[Marius57]

great attempt though

 

[Wizard]

What a round from Scottie. Just have to hope Tommy holes this for silver now

 

[Mozza1987]

Tommy just can't get over the line. Gutted

 

[Toffe3m4n]

Unlucky Tommy. Secure the silver now.

Tennis too

There's probably a few more.. Cycling... I think the fact that you aren't competing for financial rewards and it's just pride and the knowledge that you can always say that you are an olympic gold medal winner that has normally cool customers who regularly play for millions wetting the bed.

 

[Toffe3m4n]

Matsuyama secures at least bronze. Rahm will be kicking himself after that back nine...

Cycling it depends on the event. Road racers probably rate the Tour de France higher. But for track racers it will be the Olympics

Still important, Djokovic very much cared.
I seen his recent interviews, he was obsessed with this attempt to take gold at his last Olympics.
Also i believe this was last major honor that was missing in his career.
