Before Team USA's Nelly Korda teed off in the final round in the women's Olympic golf competition at Kasumigaseki Country Club, gold medal winner and fellow Team USA member Xander Schauffele tweeted her a special message: "Bring home the gold @NellyKorda! I'll be rooting for you tonight."
For 54 holes the No. 1 ranked player proved her dominance on the course. Heading into the final round, she led by three shots and maintained a level of calm that no other player seemed to match. Before the final round started, it presented a series of unknowns, including whether the 60-player field would be able to finish 72 holes due to a looming tropical storm.
