Olympics Golf Final Round: LIVE leaderboard and updates from Le Golf National in Paris

Welcome to live golf scores, updates and commentary from the final round of the 2024 Men's Olympics Golf Tournament at Le Golf National.

Scottie Scheffler continued his remarkable year by claiming the gold medal in the Olympic men's golf competition in Paris. 

Scheffler tore round Le Golf National on Sunday, carding a final round of 9-under 62 to reach 19-under par. 

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. 

Nicolai Hojgaard, Tom Kim, Joaquin Niemann, Thomas Detry, Jason Day, Corey Conners and Xander Schauffele also finished inside the top-10.

Matsuyama joins lead

Matsuyama -11 (11)

It's another birdie for Matsuyama, who moves back into a tie for the lead with Schauffele.

Schauffele is on the 18th hole and has a chance for birdie. 

13:31
Matsuyama into solo second

Matsuyama -10 (10)

Matsuyama has just curled home a birdie on the 10th to move into solo second on 10-under par. 

He's one back of Schauffele, who just missed a golden chance for birdie on the par-4 17th.

 

13:24
Low round from Detry

Detry -8 (F)

Thomas Detry pars the tough par-4 18th to match Hideki Matsuyama's low round of the week so far of 8-under 63.

Detry's flawless round consisted of eight birdies at 1, 3, 5, 6, 7, 11, 12 and 14. 

He's in the house at 8-under par and has given himself a fighting chance of the gold medal on Sunday.

Detry has incredibly never won an individual title on the DP World Tour or PGA Tour, but he did win the World Cup of Golf alongside Thomas Pieters in 2018.

Perhaps Detry comes alive when he represents his nation. We'll have to wait and see this weekend.

Bogey for McIlroy

McIlroy -5 (8)

McIlroy's charge has been somewhat derailed with a bogey at the par-3 8th.

The man representing Team Ireland this week is now 5-under par and six back of Schauffele.

Still plenty of time left for McIlroy to get himself in contention for the weekend though. 

13:14
Another birdie for Rahm

Rahm -9 (16)

Jon Rahm is absolutely flying.

He's just converted a third straight birdie on the par-3 16th to move to 9-under par in T2 alongside Fleetwood and Matsuyama, who are thru eight holes. 

Spain's Rahm is now just two shots back of Schauffele, who made par on 16.

Birdie for Rahm

Rahm -8 (15)

Rahm sinks a birdie putt on the water-filled par-4 15th to move it to 8-under par.

The LIV Golf man is right in the mix at just three shots behind playing partner Schauffele.

Greg Norman will be getting excited

13:07
Rough start for Scheffler

Scheffler -2 (7)

The World No.1 is in big trouble here.

Scheffler has just hacked it about in the rough on the par-4 7th and it's led to a double-bogey six.

It shoots Scheffler to 2-over par for the round and down to 2-under par, which is currently in T32 and nine shots behind compatriot Schauffele.

Scheffler will need to get himself back under par for the round by the end of the day if he is to have any chance of a first gold medal.

Jaeger going low

Jaeger -7 (16)

This is turning in to some round from Germany's Stephan Jaeger.

He's just made a sixth birdie of the round on the par-4 16th.

Jaeger also eagled the 3rd. 

The German is now 7-under for the round and the same score for the tournament having opened with a level-par 71.

Schauffele two shots ahead

Schauffele -11 (14)

The defending champ plays a beautiful bunker shot on the par-5 14th and then rolls home the birdie putt to move it to 11-under par.

Schauffele is now two shots clear of Matsuyama and Fleetwood, who are both 9-under par thru seven holes.

Slow start for Scheffler

Scheffler -4 (6)

It's six straight pars to start the second round for Scheffler. 

He's still in the hunt for sure, but he's six back of his compatriot Schauffele right now.

Mcllroy birdie

McIlroy -6 (5)

McIlroy is on the surge on Friday.

After an eagle at 3, Ireland's McIlroy has popped in a birdie on the par-4 6th to move it to 6-under par for the tournament.

He's just four back in T5. 

 

12:27
Fleetwood into T3

Fleetwood -8 (6)

Great British hope Tommy Fleetwood is now just two shots off the pace.

After an eagle at 3 and birdie at 4, Fleetwood has just drained another putt for birdie on 6 to move it to 8-under par for the tournament.

Some start from the Englishman.

 

12:25
Two shot swing

Schauffele -10 (13), Matsuyama -10 (6)

We've a tie at the top again.

Schauffele makes his second bogey of the round to fall back into a tie for the lead on 10-under par. 

That's because Matsuyama has just birdied the par-4 6th to pull level. 

 

11:54
Eagle for McIlroy

McIlroy -5 (3)

Rory McIlroy has just displayed exactly why he's been one of the best in the world for so long. 

An imperious long iron on the par-5 hit the flag and nearly dropped for Albatros, but it bounced about three feet to the left, leaving the Northern Irishman with a straightforward eagle putt. 

Could that be the catalyst for a McIlroy charge? We certainly hope so.

Bogey for Matsuyama

Matsuyama -9 (4)

A sloppy three-putt from Matsuyama sees him card his first bogey of the tournament. 

He's now two shots back from Schauffele after the American's birdie on the 11th hole. 

11:48
Brilliant birdie for Fleetwood

Fleetwood -7 (4)

An incredible approach shot on the 4th from Fleetwood leaves him an inch left for his tap-in birdie. 

So close to back-to-back eagles for the Englishman. 

11:46
Schauffele takes the lead by one

Schauffele -11 (11)

We have a new solo leader. Xander Schauffele makes his sixth birdie of the day and now moves one shot clear of Matsuyama at the top of the leaderboard.

Stop that Thomas Detry!

Detry -7 (12)

Thomas Detry certainly got out of his cardboard bed on the right side today. He just holed an incredible flop shot from the thick rough well below the 12th green, which marks his seventh birdie of the day. 

Everything the Belgian has touched today has turned to gold. 

Detry now has 2nd place all to himself, just three shots back from Schauffele and Matsuyama. 

11:36
Matsuyama and Schauffele going blow for blow

Schauffele -10 (10) Matsuyama -10 (3)

When one hits, the other punches straight back. 

Schauffele birdies the 10th, and mere seconds later, Matsuyama drops one in on the 3rd hole to join him at double digits under par. 

This is some fight we're witnessing.

Big bird for Fleetwood

Fleetwood -6 (3)

That's how you get your round going Tommy!

Everyone's favourite Englishman has taken advantage of the par-5 3rd with a wonderful eagle to move him to 6-under. 

 

 

11:24
Detry still charging

Detry -6 (11)

Thomas Detry is in some mood today. The Belgian has just carded his sixth birdie of the day with a long-range effort on the par-3 11th. 

He now sits just three back from the leaders in a busy pack at 6-under.

11:20
Schauffele back on top

Schauffele -9 (9)

Xander Schauffele has grabbed back a share of the lead with Matsuyama thanks to a birdie on the par-5 9th. 

The two-time major champion is having the year of his life, and he looks determined not to relinquish his title of Olympic champion.

Three in the fairway for the headline group

Aberg, McIlroy and Scheffler all split the fairway with their tee shots on the 1st.

All three are very much in contention after round one, but they will need to step on the gas early if they want to keep up with Matsuyama.
