What was Xander Schauffele's winning score at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics? Final scores and positions explored

Xander Schauffele registered his name in history by winning the gold medal at the Tokyo Olympics in 2021. Three years later, he is back in contention for the gold once again.

Schauffele aggregated at 18-under-266 to win gold at the Tokyo 2020 Olympics, beating Rory Sabbatini of Slovakia by a one-stroke margin. He began with a 3-under 68 but surged to the top of the leaderboard after shooting 63 in the second round. On Day 3, he remained unmoved after shooting 68 and had a one-stroke lead over Hideki Matsuyama.

On the final day at Kasumigaseki Country Club, Schauffele fired a 4-under 67 to close at 18-under after 72 holes. Sabbatini came quite close with an incredible 10-under 61 but settled for a silver medal. The bronze medal was decided after a seven-man playoff among Paul Casey, Hideki Matsuyama, Rory McIlroy, Collin Morikawa, Sebastián Muñoz, Mito Pereira, and C.T. Pan.

In the first extra hole, Matsuyama and Casey were eliminated by par. All the golfers tied on the second playoff hole before Rory McIlroy, Sebastián Muñoz, and Mito Pereira exited on the third. On the fourth playoff hole, Morikawa missed the par save on the par-4 18th, which resulted in Pan winning the bronze.
