We are entering the final round of the men’s golf portion of the 2021 Olympic Games.

After three tough rounds, Xander Schauffele of the United State leads the tournament with a score of -14. He has a one-shot lead over homegrown sensation and 2021 Masters winner, Hideki Matsuyama. Some former Illini golfers aren’t too far off the lead, though.
