Olympic golfers tee off for their golden moment

SAINT-QUENTIN-EN-YVELINES, France -- Perhaps one way to measure when golf has truly arrived as an Olympic sport is when players stopped getting asked how a gold medal would stack up against winning a major.

No one is entirely sure, including the one player at Le Golf National who would know.

"That's a great question for Xander Schauffele since he's the only man recently to have done both," said Jon Rahm, a two-time major champion from Spain playing in his first Olympics.

"It's a good question, but it's tricky," Schauffele said.

He won the gold medal in the Tokyo Games, at the time the pinnacle of his young career and extra meaningful because of his family. His father, Stefan, was invited to take part in Germany's decathlon training and was hit by a drunken driver on the way there, losing an eye.
