Finding The Ground & Set Up

Quick Update: The Olympics

We are two rounds deep into the Olympic Men’s Golf Tournament and, honestly?

It's a much better watch than we expected and actually has some energy. Although, some think it could be better with some format changes.

There’s a three-way tie at the top of the leaderboard with Xander Schauffele (USA), Hideki Matsuyama (Japan), and Tommy Fleetwood (Great Britain) all tied for first.

They are at 11-under, two strokes ahead of Jon Rahm (Spain) and three ahead of Thomas Detry (Belgium), Tom Kim (S. Korea), and C.T. Pan (Taiwan).

This feels like an event Tommy Fleetwood (+400) could actually win since it’s not on American soil, but Hideki Matsuyama has the better odds (+550) and Xander is the favorite (+185). Odds via Fanduel. 

What about everyone else?

World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler (USA) is at 6-under, and let’s be honest, you can probably guess why he isn’t in the lead.

Yep, that’s right - his putter, but he’s not out of it yet.

Rory McIlroy didn’t fare much better; he’s six strokes off the leaders.

The leaders go off at 6am ET which is why you are receiving this email much earlier than normal.
