RIO DE JANEIRO (AP) — Men's golf gets four days to make up for four months of negative chatter about whether it even belongs in the Olympics.
Not even a dreary sky with occasional rain could dampen the enthusiasm Wednesday on the final day of practice at Olympic Golf Course.
"No matter what happens this week, it's the greatest week of my life," two-time major champion Martin Kaymer said.
Bubba Watson was buzzing about watching Michael Phelps win the 200-meter butterfly the night before. British Open champion Henrik Stenson, an imposing figure in golf, felt small next to some of the other athletes in the gym at the Olympic Village.
