World No.1 Nelly Korda takes a three-shot lead into the final round of the Women’s Olympic Golf Tournament as the USA stay on course to take gold in both Tokyo 2020 events at Kasumigaseki Country Club following Xander Schauffele’s success in the men’s tournament.

A two-under par 69 in the third round put Nelly Korda in pole position to add a gold medal to the maiden Major she won at last month’s KPMG Women’s US PGA Major title.

Nelly Korda is on course to win Olympic Golf gold for USA at Tokyo 2020.

The 22-year-old leads by three shots from India’s Aditi Ashok, one of only two other players in the field to produce three rounds in the 60s.

Lyydia Ko, who won silver for New Zealand at Rio 2016, is in a four way tie for third heading into the final day, alongside Australia’s Hannah Green, Denmark’s Emily Kristine Pedersen and Japan’s Mone Inami. They’re five shots back from Korda.

Aditi Ashok is in the silver medal position going into the final round of the women's Olympic Golf tournament at Tokyo 2020.

Barring a miracle, Inbee Park’s hopes of defending her Olympic title are over with the South Korean seven shots outside the medal places on three-under, 12 shots behind the leader.

Ireland’s Stephanie Meadow maintains hope of a podium place. She’s bounced back from her one-over par opening round with a five-under 66 and three-under 68 to sit in a tie for 10th on seven-under.

Stephanie Meadow has a medal in her sights going into the final round of the women's Olympic Golf tournament at Tokyo 2020.

Team GB’s hopes of a medal are over. Jodie Ewart Shadoff is nine shots off the podium places in a tie for 34th, while Mel Reid’s struggles continued in the third round, a five-over par 76 following rounds of 73 and 75 leaves her propping up the field in a tie for 56th.

Women’s Olympic Golf preview

Everything you need to know about the women’s Olympic Golf Tournament at Tokyo 2020 as Mel Reid and Jodi Ewart Shadoff vie for a medal for Team GB at Kasumigaseki Country Club.

Unlike the men’s event, all three women’s Olympic Golf medal winners from the Rio 2016 games will be in Tokyo looking to make the podium again. Inbee Park will be going for a second gold for South Korea with New Zealand’s Lydia Ko and China’s Shanshan Feng be looking to improve on their silver and bronze medals respectively. The three will play together in the opening two rounds at Tokyo 2020.

Qualfiers for the women’s Olympic golf event were confirmed after the KPMG Women’s PGA Championship, where Nelly Korda triumphed and became World No.1. The full field has now been confirmed and Korda will join sister Jessica, Danielle Kang and Lexi Thompson in representing the United States in Tokyo.

Mel Reid will play for Team GB at the Olympic games.

Charley Hull and Georgia Hall both turned down their spots leaving Mel Reid and Jodi Ewart Shadoff to go for gold for Great Britain.

“We grew up playing together,” Reid said of Ewart Shadoff. “She’s trying to beat me and I’m trying to beat her but if I don’t pick up the medal, I absolutely want her to pick up a medal. It will be a unique experience. I think it will be really, really cool.”

“We are extremely pleased with the strength and diversity of both the men’s and women’s fields, which reflect the continued growth and popularity of golf,” said Annika Sorenstam, President of the International Golf Federation, which oversees the Olympic golf competition.

“We have such wonderful storylines to share, be it Jon Rahm and Nelly Korda both winning major championships in the final week of qualifying to become the No.1 players in the world, or the variety of lesser known but equally inspiring stories of Olympic athletes representing their respective countries.”

Current Women's Open champion Sophia Popov will play for Germany at the Olympics.

How do you qualify to play in the Olympic Golf events?

The world’s top-15 players are eligible for the Olympics, with a maximum limit of four players from any country.

Beyond the top-15, players are eligible based on the world rankings, with a maximum of two eligible players from each country that does not already have two or more players among the top-15.

The host country is guaranteed a place, as is each of the five Olympics continents.

What is the Olympic Golf format?

Both the men’s and women’s golf event at the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games will be a 72 hole individual stroke play tournament with no cut after two rounds, meaning all of the competitiors will play all four rounds.

Tee times and groups for the opening two rounds will be announced two days before the start of each event with threeball play expected. Tee times and pairings for the final two rounds will be decided based on scores and positions, with the leading players going off last.

Both events will operate a one-tee start with all players going off the first tee across the four days.

The East Course at Kasumigaseki Country Club.

Where are the Olympic golf events being played?

On the tree-lined East Course at Kasumigaseki Country Club, one of the oldest golf clubs in Japan and around an hour north of the Olympic Village.

Founded in 1929, the East Course has hosted the Japan Open twice, most recently in 1995, and was the venue for the Canada Cup (now known as the World Cup of Golf) in 1957.

Four years ago, the club bowed to pressure from the IOC who threatened to move the tournament to an alternative venue if they did not grant women full membership rights. Under their previous rules, women were prohibited from playing on Sundays.

Tom and Logan Fazio recently completed a full-scale renovation of the par-71 parkland course – at a cost of around $13m to the club – which included the removal of the traditional Japanese dual green system, which is used to combat extreme weather.

By transitioning to just one Bentgrass green per hole, the Fazios were able to add over 400 yards to the course and extend the hillside layout to 7,466 yards. More recently it has been compared to Quail Hollow because of the many elevated greens, generous and slaloming Zoysiagrass fairways and big, burly bunkers. Thick Zoysiagrass rough will grab any wayward shots. The expectation is that the course will favour the long hitters, especially as the three par 5s range from 586 yards to 640 yards for the men. 

It’s a bit of a cliché, but the last two holes are likely to be where both competitions will be won or lost. The 17th is the only par 4 on the course which is driveable for the big hitters and boasts one of its largest greens, albeit one which is well protected by a front bunker. The par-4, dog-leg 18th is all about the second shot and plays downhill towards a two-tier green, guarded by a trio of bunkers, which slopes down towards a lake.

Kasumigaseki Country Club will host the men's and women's Olympics golf tournaments at Tokyo 2020.

What will the weather conditions be?

Saitama, where Kasumigaseki is located, is one of the hottest locations in Japan! The average temperature over the past three years during the scheduled competition dates is 31.7°C. However, during a test event, rain, thunder storms and the threat of lightning caused frequent delays.

Xander Schauffele won the gold medal in the men's Olympic Golf tournament.

Men’s Olympic Golf tournament review

USA’s Xander Schauffele won the men’s Olympic Golf gold medal at Tokyo 2020 after a dramatic final day at the Kasumigaseki Country Club, but there was bronze medal play-off disappointment for Paul Casey and Rory McIlroy.

Xander Schauffele is the Olympic Golf champion, returning to the winner’s circle exactly 1,000 days after his last win. The four-time PGA Tour winner had seen his overnight one-shot lead wiped out but birdied the 71st hole and made a dramatic up-and-down on the final holes to clinch the gold medal by one shot on 18-under par.

Xander Schauffele, Rory Sabbatini and C T Pan won the men's Olympic golf medals at Tokyo 2020.

It was a special victory for Schauffele, whose mother is Tokyo born and whose father, his swing coach, is a former German decathlete whose own Olympic hopes were ended when he was left blind in one eye after a car accident.

Rory Sabbatini shot an Olympic record 10-under par 61 to take the silver on 17-under par for Slovakia with Chinese Taipei’s C T Pan triumphing from a seven-man play-off that included Team GB’s Paul Casey, Ireland’s Rory McIlroy and USA’s Collin Morikawa, to win the bronze medal.

“I really wanted to win for my dad. I am sure he is crying somewhere right now. I kind of wanted this one more than any other,” said World No.5 Schauffele.

“You are trying to represent your country to the best of your ability and then you add family stuff on top of that. I’m probably going to have a nice call with my grandparents tonight.

“Everyone is back home watching. I was feeling the love from San Diego and Las Vegas this whole time. I’m a little speechless right now, quite honestly.”

Xander Schauffele holes the par putt that sealed Olympic Golf gold.

Schauffele led by one shot heading into the final day and he was three ahead after a birdieing the openingh two holes. Two further birdies followed on the front nine, but as Sabbatini stormed through the field, the American hit a poor drive into bushes on the 14th, forcing him to take a penalty drop shot and make bogey to slip into a tie for the lead.

RELATED: Top 100 Fun Golf Courses

As Sabbatini prepared for a play-off on the range, Schauffele made a clutch up-and-down birdie from a greenside bunker on 17 to take a one-shot lead to the final hole. A wayward drive forced the 27-year-old to play back out into the fairway but a sublime wedge approach left him the simplest of par putts to sign for a two-under 68 and seal the Olympic glory he’d long dreamed of.

But the drama wasn’t done there. McIlroy came agonisingly close to a birdie on the final hole that would’ve seen him take bronze, leaving seven players on 15-under par and facing a huge play-off.

Agonising missed putts at the final hole and third play-off hole cost Rory McIlroy an Olympic medal.

McIlroy was joined by Casey, Morikawa, Japan’s Hideki Matsuyama, Chinese Taipei’s C T Pan, Chile’s Mito Pereira and Colombia’s Sebastian Munoz. 

Casey was the first to drop out after failing to recover from a wayward drive down the par-4 18th, with home hope Matsuyama also failing to make par.

The five remaining then all made three at the par-three 10th, despite good birdie opportunites. 

RELATED: WITB Collin Morikawa

Two-time Major champion Morikawa then pitched to two feet on the 11th to seemingly clinch the medal, but Pan followed him down for birdie.

World number 118 Pereira lipped out, McIlroy burned the edge and Munoz bogeyed to leave just two players in it.

The final pair headed back to the 18th and Morikawa looked in control once again as Pan found a heavy lie off the tee. But as Pan found the green, the Open champion’s approach plugged in the face of the bunker and he couldn’t get up and down.

Collin Morikawa splashes out of the bunker on the fourth play-off hole, but he couldn't save his Olympic Golf bronze medal hopes.

It was arguably the right result with Pan shooting a closing 63, matching the previous Olympic record, to get into the shootout, having been 58th out of the 60-man field after Thursday’s opening round.

For Sabbatini, the silver medal for Slovakia marked a successful end to a complicated journey.

South African-born Sabattini is a US citizen and holds a UK passport, but after marrying Slovakian Martina Stofanikova it was suggested he could apply for citizenship.

The idea came from Stofanika’s cousin, Rastislav Antala, then vice president of the Slovak Golf Association (now president) with Sabbatini making the decision to support his wife, stepson and help raise the profile of golf in the country. He wasn’t even aware that he’d be eligible to represent the country at the Olympics when he made the decision.

“It sounds quite amazing,” Sabbatini said of will a medal. “It doesn’t sound like it belongs to me. But crazy game this sport we play. So somehow found that golden egg today and I managed to get something achieved, which I didn’t was possible after yesterday.”

Rory Sabbatini proudly displays his silver Olympic Golf medal.

Meanwhile Team GB’s Casey spoke of an overwhelming feeling of pride despite his play-off heartbreak and made his feelings clear on those who turned down the chance to play in Tokyo.

RELATED: WITB Paul Casey

“Great emotions, but frustration at the same time,” said Casey. “It’s highlighted to us how much the Olympics means to everybody.

“”The golfers that passed on it, I’ve got no words for them, all I would say is that I think representing your country is the greatest thing can you do.”

Paul Casey loved the Olympic Golf experience despite his play-off disappoinment.

McIlroy, who had said before the tournament that he’d never dreamed of winning an Olympic medal, admitted he’d had a change of heart after being part of the games.

“I’ve never tried so hard in my life to finish third. It’s not a position that I find myself in very often,” the Northern Irishman, who was eligible to play for Team GB but represented Ireland at amateur level, told BBC Radio 5 Live.

“The nice consolation is it’s not going to be my last chance, I’ll be back in Paris in three years’ time and will give it my all.

“This isn’t just another golf tournament, it’s much bigger than that, and I didn’t realise that until I got here.”

GB’s Tommy Fleetwood and Ireland Shane Lowry both entered the final round with high hopes of a medal, but rounds of 70 (-1) and 71 (E) respectively left them in ties for 16th and 22nd as the rest of the field made big moves.

The history of golf in the Olympic Games

1899
At the meeting of the Organising Committee for the 1900 Games, the group responsible for Athletics Games included golf in the list of sports featured on the programme for the following year’s event in Paris.

1900
Golf appeared at the Olympics for the first time in Paris. It was won by America’s Charles Sands (82-85). There was also an amateur event, won by 10-handicap Albert Lambert, who was only in the city
on business.

1904
It was also on the programme of the games in St Louis, at a new specially-built course (the first to be built west of the Mississippi). Canada’s George Lyon beat American H Chandler Egan by a 3&2 scoreline in the final.

1908
Lyon crossed the Atlantic to defend his medal in London. But an R&A row with organisers over player eligibility saw all GB and US players pull out, forcing the event to be cancelled. Lyons was offered gold by default but spurned it.

Gil Hanse designed the golf course for the 2016 Rio Olympic Games.

1914: As it was an optional sport, golf was not included in the 1912 Stockholm games – although a few Swedish courses did exist at the time, the sport was still not popular in the country.

1920: The Olympics were held in Antwerp, Belgium, and a golf event was due to happen at Cappelen. But again a lack of entries stopped it and, in 1921, it was taken off the list of ‘optional sports’ by the IOC Congress.

2008: The International Golf Federation named Jack Nicklaus and Annika Sorenstam as ambassadors for the Olympic cause. “It can have tremendous impact on the growth of golf where it is developing,” said Nicklaus.

2009: After years of campaigning by the R&A, USGA and PGA, the IOC decided to reinstate golf from 2016. Golf was passed by 63 votes to 27, beating softball, squash, baseball, karate and roller sports to a place.

2012: Architect Gil Hanse is chosen to design and build the Olympic Golf course for Rio 2016. The renowned American designer beats off the likes of Jack Nicklaus, Greg Norman and Gary Player to be commissioned.

2016: The Olympic Golf Course, a par 71 stretching to 7,128 yards, opens having cost roughly $19 million to create.

Justin Rose wins gold for Great Britain in the men’s tournament with Henrik Stenson taking silver for Sweden and Matt Kuchar winning bronze for the USA. In the women’s tournament  Inbee Park took gold for South Korea, with New Zealand’s Lydia Ko winning the silver and China’s Shanshan Feng wearing the bronze.

As well as winning gold, Rose became the first player to make a hole-in-one in Olympic Golf history.

Justin Rose made history at Rio 2016, making the first hole-in-one in Olympic Golf.

2017: Golf’s place at Tokyo 2020 is confirmed.

2020: The Covid-19 global health pandemic sees the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games postponed for 12 months.

2021: The Olympic Games goes ahead without fans with the men’s and women’s golf tournaments played across the East Course at Kasumigaseki Country Club. Covid-19 sees World No.1 Jon Rahm and World No.6 Bryson DeChambeau, both Major champions, ruled out just days before the men’s tournament begins.

USA’s Xander Schauffele wins gold with Slovakia’s Rory Sabbatini taking the silver medal and C T Pan winning a seven-man play-off to take the bronze medal for Chinese Taipei.

The future: The Olympic Games head to Paris in 2024 with the men’s and women’s tournaments due to be played at Le Golf National, host venue of the 2018 Ryder Cup and the French Open.

Four years later the games are due to be hosted by Los Angeles, with the renowned Riviera Country Club earmarked to host the Olympic Golf tournaments.
