Hojgaard -13, Matsuyama -15 (6)

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.

McIlroy escapes again
McIlroy -12 (6)
Bizarre stuff from McIlroy, who misses the sixth green with a wedge.
He's on a downslope with no green to work with.
He opens the blade up and gentle brushes his club under the ball.
That is magnificent and almost drops for a birdie.
Another par...
13:01
Hit it, Tommy!
Fleetwood -15, Rahm -16, Schauffele -16 (5)
Tommy finds the fairway at the par-4 fifth.
He has a green light to go right at the flag, but is cautious with his approach.
His birdie putt from about 18 feet is also cautious, and stops short in the jaws.
Easy par for Tommy, but you sense that he needs to attack the pins when given the chance.
Meanwhile Rory McIlroy has just missed his second green in a row with a short iron.
12:56
Tom Kim finds a birdie
Kin -12 (6)
Superb stuff from Tom Kim.
The South Korean is just inside Scheffler's ball with his approach.
No problem with the birdie putt...
12:55
Scheffler shocked and robbed
Scheffler -13 (6)
Let's go to back to the world number one who has another birdie putt at the sixth hole.
From the way he has started, you'd back him to make this.
But it lips out!
Robbed.
He cannot believe that.

McIlroy gets up and down
McIlroy -12, Matsuyama -14, Hojgaard -13 (5)

He tugs it left and has to scramble to save par.
Hogjaard converts for birdie from five feet.
Matsuyama rolls one in from about 20 feet up the hill to reach 14-under.
12:42
Ridiculous from Schauffele, Rahm and Fleetwood
X. Schauffele -16, J. Rahm -16, Fleetwood -15 (4)
Xander Schauffele held the outright lead for about 20 seconds.
The American's long birdie putt had the perfect pace and drops in the centre of the cup.
Rahm answers with a birdie of his own.
And what can Fleetwood do from seven feet?
Also a birdie!
He stays within one.
Tommy Fleetwood
12:35
Fleetwood to join the lead?!
From the middle of the fairway at the fourth hole, Fleetwood fires a dart that settles about eight feet from the pin.
He could join the lead here.
Schauffele is on the putting surface and will have an outside look.
From 151 yards, Rahm plays a high draw and he finds another green in regulation.
He's just inside Schauffele's ball.
12:33
Almighty roar for Perez
V. Perez -9 (6)
The Frenchman has played his first five holes in level par.
But he's just moved to 1-under for the day and 9-under overall with a 22-foot birdie putt at the sixth hole.
That was loud.
12:30
McIlroy gets out of trouble
McIlroy -12, Hojgaard -12, Matsuyama -13 (4)
McIlroy was in trouble with his tee shot.
His ball came to rest awkwardly next to the bunker and the ball was severely below his feet.

Still, he manages to safe par with two putts.
Matsuyama, on the other hand, hit a beauty to eight feet and converted his birdie putt.
Hojgaard settles for a par.
12:25
Birdies all around
Rahm -15, Schauffele -15, Fleetwood -14 (3)
Easy birdies for this trio.
Schauffele was closest but his eagle putt lacked pace.
Fleetwood has bounced back with an opening bogey with back-to-back birdies.
12:19
Eagle opportunities for Rahm, Fleetwood and Schauffele
The third hole is the easiest on the course for a reason.
All three are on the putting surface in two.
You'd expect all three to make birdie here...
12:18
Rory McIlroy is in good spirits
Rory McIlroy

He escapes with a par, though.
12:11
Exceptional stuff from Schauffele, Fleetwood birdie
Schauffele -14, Rahm -14, Fleetwood -13 (2)
My word.
Schauffele manages to save par from a treacherous position.
His flop shot settles for a gimme and he'll stay at 14-under.
Meanwhile, Fleetwood converts his birdie putt up the hill.
You get the feeling that that is huge.
Rahm settles for a three.
12:07
Another birdie for Scheffler
Scheffler -13, Kim -11, J. Day -11 (3)
Superb stuff from Scheffler.
Three birdies in three holes and he's making this look easy.
He strikes at the par-5 third hole, two-putting for birdie after finding the green with two glorious strikes.

But Scheffler is now only one back!
12:05

Take on the pin at the par-3 second hole at your peril.
Rahm plays a fade off the centre of the green and stays dry.

Bogey start for Fleetwood

11:54
Not the best from Fleetwood
Fleetwood is first to go in the final group at the first hole.
His approach leaks left and he's in the thick rough.
Schauffele's approach is safe and he'll have about 25 feet for birdie.
Rahm had the green light to go straight at the flag, but he's long!
Tricky two-putt from there.
11:50
Scheffler chips in!
Scheffler -12 (2)
My word.
That's why he's world number one.
Scottie Scheffler missed the green right, grabs a wedge and then chips in from 25 feet.
