    I picked this up during the week to commentate Bratislava’s favourite son making it to the olympics, but never thought he’d pick up silver and win low Rory!
    Cinderella story, out of nowhere, former greenskeeper, now about to become a Masters champion..... It looks like a mirac.. It's in the hole! It's in the hole!

    Should be a lock in for the Ryder Cup. Love to see Rory and Cheater Reed going toe to toe!

    I was a non-believer for golf in the Games.

    In one way I still am, but as a golf fan, may this be the second of many. The event was great from start to finish, even without crowds, the finish was super exciting, and in the end the right player won. i got the feeling the players REALLY wanted to win a medal rather than just be there to meet other athletes and have a good time.

    And we get to watch the women next weekend go through it all again. 7plus will be getting another full workout from me.

    I agree that this version was better than at Rio, but I still think that they have continued to squib on the format - another 72 hole strokeplay tournament really doesn't do anything to lift itself above the mundane.

    If I was in charge (fingers-crossed that my plans for world domination are close to fruition), I would switch it to a two-person three day tournament:
    - day one being best-ball,
    - day two alternate shot, and
    - day three combined strokeplay scores.

    Winning team is the one with the best cumulative score, but the player with the best solo score on day three also wins a separate gold (a one day sprint in effect). This would mean that even if a team is out of it, both players have something to shoot for. Equally, it could create some interesting team dynamics with a player needing to balance their person ambitions with that of the team. Would love to see Patrick Read on the US team in that situation ...

    Likewise ! Or like a shootout format where 1 player per hole is elimininated. Something to get us excited.

    Long drive should have been in the olympics before this.

    That is a much better suggestion than mine! Love the idea of long drive being an Olympic event - that would fit nicely.

    Not sure if its how their Olympic soccer team was selected but the running gag in Indonesia for a while is that none of their soccer team can speak indonesian

    Happens everywhere. And good on Rory for doing something growing the game in eastern europe, golf is fairly scarce over there.

    The rugger chicks tossed it away. Hospital passes inside your 22 when u are leading with 3 minutes to go is suicidal.

    And the Hockeyroos were gassed after going too hard too early in the Tournament. You don’t get extra points for having the biggest goal difference. Once you are two goals in front you back off and save yourself for the rest of the event.

    Too much pressure, should of pulled out and claimed discrimination. Might earn some brownie points with the non binary supporters

    You would say that since transitioning you have lost the right to the clean and jerk
