It was a stellar opening day of the 2024 Olympic men’s golf competition, and there’s a strong leaderboard after 18 holes.
Japan’s Hideki Matsuyama was brilliant, firing a bogey-free 8-under 63 to take the solo lead. He’s up by two on Xander Schauffele, the Open champion from two weeks ago at Royal Troon and No. 2 golfer in the world. Schauffele had one bogey but seven birdies to sign for 6-under 65.
Joaquin Niemann, Emiliano Grillo and Tom Kim are tied for third at 5 under.
There were two weather delays during the first round, which saw 30,000 fans descend upon Le Golf National for the competition.
From tee times to TV and streaming information, here’s everything you need to know about Friday’s second round of the 2024 Olympic men’s golf competition. All times ET.
