Tommy Fleetwood Wins Silver in Olympic Golf

Tommy Fleetwood earned a silver medal for Team GB in men's golf at the 2024 Paris Olympics, finishing just one stroke behind gold medalist Scottie Scheffler. Fleetwood shot a final round of 66, ending with a total score of 18 under par, while Scheffler equaled a course record with a stunning 62. Despite needing only to par the last two holes to secure gold, Fleetwood faltered, dropping a shot on the 17th and narrowly missing a birdie putt on the 18th to force a playoff. Japan's Hideki Matsuyama claimed bronze, finishing at 17 under par. Fleetwood's near-miss adds to his history of close calls in major tournaments, having finished in the top five multiple times. He expressed gratitude for the support he received from the enthusiastic Parisian crowd throughout the competition.
