Day 6 in Rio marks the return of golf to the Olympic Games after a 112-year absense. Watch to see if PGA Tour pros Bubba Watson (USA), Henrik Stenson (SWE) and Rickie Fowler (USA), the top three qualifiers for the Olympics, can carve up Rio’s brand new championship course. Also, men’s rugby will award gold, silver and bronze in the inaugual Olympic rugby sevens competition.
Across town, Simone Biles is expected to compete for her first individual Olympic medal in the women’s all-around competition, while Kayla Harrison hopes to repeat her gold-medal-winning experience from London for the U.S. in judo. Swimming fans will look forward to the final of the men’s 200m individual medley, where Michael Phelps and Ryan Lochte could go head-to-head one last time, after Phelps edged out Lochte for gold at the last Olympic Games.
