Fantasy Golf Round Up: Justin Rose Wins Gold
Wow, what a week.
Not only did golf return to the Olympics for the first time in 112 years, we saw a Gold Medal for Team GB thanks to Justin Rose's exquisite play.
The Englishman battled with Open Champion Henrik Stenson right down to the final shot on the final green.
Rose birdied the par-5 18th for Gold and 405 fantasy points whilst Stenson 3-putted for bogey to win the Silver Medal and pick up 345 points.
Matt Kuchar won the Bronze medal but was behind Ryan Moore in the 'USA 1' category.
