Here are the top three finishers with their new bling:

I watched a fair bit of the coverage, and something was definitely lacking. I think they need to update the format, and have more on-course reporters (only have the two commentators who talked way too much only added to the ennui).  Also, keep us updated on the leaderboard and when you bring up a players score or their shot details, tell us what place they are currently in.

The course did look pretty impressive.

Congrats to all of the Olympic golf competitors, I hope you all enjoyed your Olympic experience.
