Team USA’s Xander Schauffele is in a three-way tie for the lead after day two of the men’s Olympic golf tournament, as the 30-year-old attempts to defend the title he won at the Tokyo Games in 2021.
Schauffele, the current world No. 2, finished his second round on 11 under par at Le Golf National in Guyancourt, level with Japan’s Hideki Matsuyama and Great Britain’s Tommy Fleetwood. Spain’s Jon Rahm is two strokes behind in fourth place, with three players – Belgium’s Thomas Detry, Chinese Taipei’s CT Pan and South Korea’s Tom Kim – tied for fifth place on eight under.
The USA’s three other representatives – Scottie Scheffler, Collin Morikawa and Wyndham Clark – have ground to make up in the final two rounds if they’re to secure a medal. Scheffler, the world’s top-ranked men’s golfer, finished day two on six under, in a tie for 10th; Morikawa is two strokes further back, in joint 19th; and Clark is at one over, in joint 46th.
