An all-world trio fronts the Olympic men’s golf leaderboard with reigning gold medalist Xander Schauffele (USA) and Jon Rahm (ESP) sharing the lead and Tommy Fleetwood (GBR) one back.
Schauffele shot 3-under 68 in Saturday’s third round at Le Golf National to reach 14 under, the same number as Rahm, who fired a second-straight 66. Fleetwood had a 69 to sit at 13 under.
With three medals on offer Sunday, it’s far from a three-man race. Denmark’s Nicolai Hojgaard tied a course record (coincidentally held by his twin brother, Rasmus) with a 62 to finish at 11 under alongside Japan’s Hideki Matsuyama, who salvaged an even-par 71.
Rory McIlroy, representing Ireland, shot 66 to get to 10 under. He’s tied with America’s Scottie Scheffler (67), South Korea’s Tom Kim (69) and Belgium’s Thomas Detry (69).
