Tokyo Olympics: Xander Schauffele holds on to win golf gold, storming Sabbatini steals silver as seven-man bronze play-off starts

Schauffele finished on 18-under-par to clinch gold by one shot. Rory Sabbatini, representing Slovakia, notched the round of the week on Sunday – an incredible 61 that included 10 birdies and an eagle – to make a late charge for the podium top on the last day, but Schauffele, the world No 5, held on for the win.

Seven players, including Rory McIlroy, Paul Casey and Colin Morikawa were involved in a play-off for the bronze medal, but it was Taiwan’s C T Pan who prevailed after four play-off holes, narrowly pipping Morikawa to the last spot on the podium.
