RIO DE JANEIRO (AP) – The first Olympics in South America.

“It speaks volumes about our sport to have that guy love the game of golf like he does”.
I can’t answer the question.
“If I went to the rest of the world and said I was an Olympic gold-medal victor, you’d probably find that only 10 percent wouldn’t know and it would be reverse; 90 percent would know what an Olympic gold-medal victor is”. “I sense, as well, the players at home are pretty quiet on social media”. I’m glad people dropped out so it could guarantee me a spot.
“Representing your country, a chance to win a medal at the Olympics, hopefully that can be a springboard going forward for me”.
USA golfers watched United States swimmer Phelps, the all-time Olympic medal king, on Tuesday and plan to catch Usain Bolt in the men’s 100m final just hours after their last round.
“I was sticking to my routines and exercises that I know I can do and looks good!” I’m sure it’s going to take a couple weeks after that to reflect on all your experiences. Somehow you play for the team, but in that moment, it’s only about you; that you deliver your point. “I’ve seen a couple of mosquitoes but nothing insane”.
It goes against the grain of the spirit of the Rio Olympics, which have been a cacophony of noise, with the occasional groan of disappointment interrupting the festival.
The semi-aquatic capybara which, according to the San Diego Zoo, can be between 3 to 4 feet long, stand 2 feet tall, and weigh between 60 to 174 pounds, have been roaming the golf course. Ask Sergio Garcia what it’s like to have four major seconds and zero major wins. As herbivores, they are mainstays in Rio help keep the grass trimmed.
“It’s such a big deal you know”. What could you do to be an Olympic athlete?
The 38-year-old journeyman took full advantage of his good fortune mixing nine birdies with a single bogey for an Olympic course record eight-under 63.
“It has a slightly different feel and it should have, it is the Olympics”, Stenson told reporters. Everybody is really going about their business. “There were some reasons the guys felt they shouldn’t come here, but any time there’s a reason to put on the stars and stripes I’m going to do it”.
The other mystery is golf itself. They made their decisions and they’ll have to live with them.
Don’t expect the screams and splash of colour when golf tees off this morning, but rather an intrigued observation from across the Olympic Park. “When you get to be there to watch history…” When I think of the Olympics, generally it’s for amateurs.
Hmmm, maybe just one more Mulligan? That wouldn’t have happened if golf wasn’t an Olympic sport.
The Ryder Cup is foremost on my mind and all of our minds.
I understand the struggle. With that being said, that hasn’t stopped us from thinking of ways that the entertainment value could be ramped up a bit.

Days after Schwazer won the world championship in Rome in May, he tested positive for a steroid in further analysis of a sample given in January. We’re trying to wrap our heads around it. “When people turn on the TV to watch sports the one event where they can see nearly all the top athletes is the Olympics. It is unbelievable. You walk in, see people from your country and sit down with them and talk about what they do, how they prepare”, Kaymer said.
