Fleetwood started the 18th hole down one stroke, 18-under, and in need of at least a birdie to send the tournament into a playoff for the gold medal. 

Rahm was in contention for at least a bronze medal while Schauffele – the Tokyo Olympics’ gold medalist – was on the outside of the podium.

The British golf star hooked his second shot just over the green, setting him up for at least a par or a miraculous birdie. He tried to nail the birdie but narrowly missed.
