00:00Great Britain's Tommy Fleetwood had to settle for silver in the Olympic men's golf after
00:07falling agonisingly short of American world number one Scotty Scheffler in an enthralling
00:13finale.
00:14On a tense last day in Paris, Fleetwood was tied with Scheffler on 19-under, walking on
00:20to the 17th hole, but a bogey after missing the green and overhitting a chip left him
00:26trailing Scheffler, who shot a course record equaling 9-under-62, going down to the last.
00:34Fleetwood, who shot a wonderful 66, tipped his head back in disappointment before breaking
00:40out into beaming smile as thousands of fans chanted his name.
00:44Part of me is disappointed, of course, but at the same time I've never dreamed of being
00:50an Olympic medalist, said Fleetwood.
00:53I'm still unbelievably proud and happy of the way the week went.
00:57I'm proud of the way I played today.
