He shot +5 overall and was the highest finishing amateur, winning the silver medal. [24] As much as he stepped away with a real focus on his career, I don't think this narrative around LIV and everything going on in the game - with him being front and centre as the chairman of the players board over there - has hurt him in any way.I never thought I'd be going to the Olympics, that's the thing. People asked me about the Olympics a few weeks ago, but your mind isn't on the Olympics because you have big events like this [The Open].
