Olympics Golf Final Round: LIVE leaderboard and updates from Le Golf National in Paris
Welcome to live golf scores, updates and commentary from the final round of the 2024 Men's Olympics Golf Tournament at Le Golf National.
Scottie Scheffler continued his remarkable year by claiming the gold medal in the Olympic men's golf competition in Paris.
Scheffler tore round Le Golf National on Sunday, carding a final round of 9-under 62 to reach 19-under par.
England's Tommy Fleetwood secured the silver medal, finishing on 18-under par.
Hideki Mastuyama took the bronze after he finished one stroke behind the Englishman.
Jon Rahm held a four-shot lead at the summit on the back nine but two bogeys and a double bogey from the Spaniard saw his challenge for the gold medal blow up in smoke.
Rahm finished in a tie for fifth on 15-under with Rory McIlroy.
Home favourite Victor Perez fired a sublime, out-of-nowhere 63 to finish in solo fourth on 16-under.
Nicolai Hojgaard, Tom Kim, Joaquin Niemann, Thomas Detry, Jason Day, Corey Conners and Xander Schauffele also finished inside the top-10.

The two-time major champion makes a birdie on the par-5 14th hole to move one shot closer to Matsuyama, who still holds the solo lead at 8-under.
