In an exhilarating third round at Le Golf National, Xander Schauffele and Jon Rahm emerged as the front-runners in the 2024 Men's Olympics Golf Tournament. Schauffele, the defending Olympic gold medalist, overcame a shaky start to his round with a remarkable eagle on the 14th hole, propelling him to a tie for the lead at 14-under par after 54 holes. Rahm, on the other hand, showcased his late-round brilliance by sinking a lengthy birdie putt on the challenging 17th hole, joining Schauffele at the top of the leaderboard.

Both Schauffele and Rahm entered the tournament as the players in top form. Schauffele arrived in Paris on the back of impressive victories at the US PGA Championship and The Open, establishing himself as a force to be reckoned with. Meanwhile, Rahm brought some momentum from his recent triumph at the LIV Golf UK tournament in England, his first win in 11 attempts.

However, the battle for the coveted gold medal is far from a two-horse race. Tommy Fleetwood from Great Britain is hot on the heels of Schauffele and Rahm, trailing by just one shot. A victory for Fleetwood would not only mark his first Olympic gold medal but also add to Great Britain's success in the sport, following Justin Rose's triumph in Rio in 2016.

While the spotlight remains on the top three contenders, several other players are within striking distance heading into the final round. Nicolai Hojgaard, Hideki Matsuyama, Scottie Scheffler, Rory McIlroy, and Tom Kim all find themselves in contention as they strive for a strong finish.

Sunday's final round promises to deliver an exciting conclusion to the Paris Olympics Golf Tournament, as Schauffele, Rahm, and Fleetwood battle for the top spot. With the Olympic gold medal within reach, these golfers will leave no stone unturned in their pursuit of victory at Le Golf National. Golf fans around the world eagerly anticipate witnessing the thrilling conclusion of this prestigious tournament.
