The second round of golf is underway at the 2024 Paris Olympics.
Japan’s Hideki Matsuyama established himself as the early leader in the clubhouse after shooting an impressive 8-under-par 63 during Thursday’s opening round at Le Golf National in Guyancourt, France.
Defending gold medalist Xander Schauffele leads the United States in second place behind Matsuyama at 6-under par, two strokes off Matsuyama’s lead. Schauffele, who recorded seven birdies in Round 1 on Thursday, will once again play alongside Viktor Hovland (Norway) and Jon Rahm (Spain) on Friday — one of several stacked group pairings at the Paris Games.
