Scottie Scheffler, the World No. 1, has won the gold medal in men's golf at the Paris Olympics, delivering a stellar performance with a bogey-free final round of 62, including a back-nine 29 with four birdies. This victory marks a significant achievement for Scheffler, who also tied the course record with his impressive score. Tommy Fleetwood of Great Britain secured the silver medal, finishing one shot behind Scheffler. Hideki Matsuyama claimed the bronze medal. Scheffler's win is a remarkable turnaround, considering his recent arrest, and adds to his already impressive year, which includes victories at the Masters and Players Championship.
