Olympic Golf Recap: Scheffler’s Sunday S...

The Smylie Show
About this episode

Join Smylie Kaufman and Charlie Hulme as they dive into the thrilling Olympic men's golf tournament where American Scottie Scheffler's stunning final round charge stole the show and a gold medal win in epic fashion! They break down dramatic leaderboard changes, key moments from Scottie’s back-nine run to gold, and varied performances from the final group of Jon Rahm, Xander Schauffele, and Tommy Fleetwood. The duo also discusses the state of Olympic golf since its return in 2016, briefly looks ahead to the final event on the PGA Tour calendar before the FedEx Cup playoffs begin, and of course cannot wrap the show without offering Charlie a chance to field questions related to his recent personal-best round.
