Day 13: Final Round of Men’s Olympic Golf: Rose Gold, Stenson Silver, & Kuchar Bronze!

31One more thought as I continue to search for and define the “Olympic Spirit of Golf”… there is a reason those five Olympic Rings, representing the people of all seven continents, are interconnected…   (Facebook Post with 1 video, Andy Reistetter, 8-14-16)

Final group of England’s Justin Rose, Sweden’s Henrik Stenson, & Australia’s Marcus Fraser are off on Olympic Golf Gold Medal Sunday… thinking the Olympic Golf Gold Medal Champion of the World will come from this group but hoping & pulling for Americans’ Bubba Watson, Matt Kuchar and Rickie Fowler who with a record 62 could win Olympic Gold!   (Facebook Post with 1 video, Andy Reistetter, 8-14-16)

32Didn’t England’s Justin Rose pitch on 18 to win Olympic Golf Gold remind you of that 17-year old kid who holed that dramatic shot at Royal Birkdale in the 1998 British Open? What a finish! What a Victory Medal Ceremony! What a great guy! Hats off to Sweden’s Henrik Stenson for dueling Rose to the end and United States’ Matt Kuchar for a brilliant 63 to take the Bronze Medal! TROML Day, then home to do laundry. Two days of Rio sightseeing & Olympic beach volleyball & hockey and then the Women’s Olympic Golf competition! USA! USA!! USA!!!   (Facebook Post with 30 pics, Andy Reistetter, 8-14-16)
