RIO DE JANEIRO – Davis Love III normally doesn’t watch golf on TV, but if the U.S. Ryder Cup captain tuned in for Day 1 coverage from the Olympics he likely didn’t like what he saw.
Only one of the four Americans in this week’s field managed to post a score under par – Matt Kuchar, who opened with a 2-under 69 – and collectively Team USA was 5 over par to begin their Olympic week.
The good news for the Americans is there is no team competition at this year’s Games.
