“They’re massive. I saw some pictures (before arriving in Rio) but I didn’t expect them to be that big”, Spain’s Sergio Garcia commented.

Fowler is prolific across his social media accounts, as was shown during the #SB2K16 week earlier this year, and he says he has already been in touch with some of the players back home.

“It’s been fun talking to the other athletes about what they do, what are the similarities between sports and a lot of things are on the mental side”.

“I was sticking to my routines and exercises that I know I can do and looks good!” Logically will I get another chance in 2020? “Capybara, it’s a decent-sized animal”.

“I want to hang out there, try to meet the other athletes and enjoy my time as an Olympian”. As herbivores, they are mainstays in Rio help keep the grass trimmed.

The US foursome, allowed to exceed the usual maximum of two per nation because all were ranked in the top 15 on selection day, are half of the top-20 golfers in Rio. “We’re going to have to play well”. “It’s a really cool feeling to see them, and them kind of reaching out”.
