Who designed the Rio golf course?
Arguably the only thing people felt certain about heading into the Olympic men’s golf competition was that the Rio course, designed by Gil Hanse and Amy Alcott and maintained by superintendent Neil Cleverly, would provide a picturesque and dramatic venue to host the sport’s return to the Games. Impressively, the course didn’t just live up to its pre-tournament hype, but exceeded it. While the winds never picked up to a pace that made the course show what Hanse described as its true teeth, the 16-under winning score was not a sign of a pushover. Rather it was the solid play from Justin Rose and Henrik Stenson. And considering the 63 it gave up to Matt Kuchar, well, Troon and Baltusrol yielded similar numbers, and that’s pretty good company for a course hosting its first event. -- RH
