I finally have time to tune into Olympic golf. The final round of the 2024 Olympic golf is proving to be very interesting. The smooth swinging players are starting off quick in hopes of catching Lydia Ko at the top of the leaderboard. Canadian Brooke Henderson is six strokes back and has a tough hill to climb.

Is it just me or the LPGA does not garner then coverage they deserve!
