The United States' Xander Schauffele held off a remarkable rally by Slovakia's Rory Sabbatini to win the gold medal in men's golf at the Tokyo Olympics on Sunday.

Schauffele entered the final round with a one-shot lead, which he increased to three midway through Sunday's play, but Sabbatini skyrocketed up the leaderboard with a 10-under 61 that forced the 27-year-old American to make a clutch par putt on the 18th hole to secure gold.
