Great Britain’s Tommy Fleetwood had to settle for Olympic silver in the men’s golf after falling agonisingly short of American world number one Scottie Scheffler in an enthralling finale.

On an exciting last day in Paris, Fleetwood was tied with Scheffler on 19 under walking on to the 17th hole.

But a bogey after missing the green and over-hitting a chip left him trailing Scheffler going down the last.

The 33-year-old Englishman also misjudged an approach on the 18th as he attacked, settling for a par which secured the silver medal.

Japan’s Hideki Matsuyama took bronze on 17 under.

Home favourite Victor Perez finished fourth on 16 under, a shot ahead of Rory McIlroy, representing Ireland, and Spain’s Jon Rahm.
