Behind The Scenes After Golf Awarded Olympic Medals

What a stellar day at the Rio Olympic Golf Course, and while the folks behind it and the players might have dreamed up the best case scenario that unfolded, the chances of things playing as well as they did were pretty slim.

But as I note in this piece for GolfDigest.com, Justin Rose's gold, Henrik Stenson's silver and Matt Kuchar's bronze proved to be a great moment for so many behind the scenes people. While I could only touch on a few of them, here are a few observations from a great day.

I also shared this about Matt Kuchar's 63 and his (understandable) post round daze given that it was the lowest final round score he'd ever posted. Nice time to do it.

More roundup items and images tomorrow, but for now I'm resting up for Morning Drive and Live From discussions and of course, a ShackHouse recap.

Tune in to Golf Channel for more at 6:00 am ET, where I chat with Cara Robinson and maybe let her gloat about Great Britain's epic Rio Olympic Sunday.
