In the end though it was Chinese Taipei's C.T Pan who eventually overcame recent Open champion Collin Morikawa to place third – an astonishing comeback considering he carded a 74 on day one to place third last. While gold went to Schauffele and silver was Sabbatini's, the drama wasn't over there as six other golfers played off for the bronze medal, including local favourite Hideki Matsuyama. There appeared every chance the 27-year-old could be forced to face Sabbatini, who was waiting and watching on the driving range, after 18 holes in a gold medal play-off, but he recovered remarkably, sinking a clutch birdie putt on 17 and then another for par on 18. After taking a one-stroke penalty, Schauffele scrambled for bogey. 5 hung on to narrowly pip Rory Sabbatini by one stroke, after the Slovenian shot a remarkable 10-under on the final day to post 61.īreaking away with the lead going into the final round, Schauffele clung on for virtually the entire day and appeared destined for the gold, only to suffer a nervous slip up on the par 5 14th, sending his tee shot wide and right.
