The Olympic women's golf tournament begins this Wednesday at Le Golf National.
The latest: Fans were treated to an epic finish when Scottie Scheffler shot a final-round 62 to win the men's tournament at this course on Sunday. I'm expecting the USA to go 2-for-2 with Rose Zhang taking home the gold. Canadian Brooke Henderson should have a good week, too.

Best Bet: Rose Zhang top-10 finish (+163) and to win (+2,000)
Zhang turned pro just over a year ago, marking an end to one of the best amateur golf careers of all time.
She won 28 times, including the 2020 U.S. Women's Amateur, back-to-back NCAA Championships (2022, 2023) at Stanford University, and the 2023 Augusta National Women's Amateur.
Zhang won her first-ever start as a pro at the Mizuho Americas Open last June before carding three straight top-10 finishes at major championships.
The hype train was deservedly out of control but has cooled off since.
Still, the 21-year-old has been solid on the LPGA this year, logging four top-10 finishes and a win at the Cognizant Founders Cup in May.
She's coming off a T6 at the CPKC Women's Open and is capable of making plenty of birdies.
Key stat: Zhang ranks second in strokes gained: approach (+1.42) and 19th in scoring average on the LPGA Tour (70.84).
Quick picks
Henderson top-10 finish (+110): Henderson isn't having her best season by any stretch, but the Smiths Falls, Ontario native has still been fairly consistent.
She's made the cut in six straight starts and has a pair of T8s in her last three outings.
Henderson isn't a bomber but we just saw how Le Golf National plays.
Small fairways and thick rough means driving accuracy will be very important. The Canadian hits 72.0% of fairways in regulation and ranks 16th in strokes gained: off-the-tee (+0.56).
Henderson also tends to show up in the biggest moments.
She has 15 top-10 finishes at majors and nine top-20s in 14 starts since the beginning of 2022. Keep in mind those are full-field events. Only 60 players are teeing it at the Olympics.
