Olympic Men's Golf Competition leaderboard http://www.pgatour.com/tournaments/olympic-mens-golf-competition/leaderboard.html
With the wind freshening Graham DeLaet went through the first nine holes in 31 shots and has just completed his back nine with a birdie on the 18th. His 35 shots give him a -5 total 66, good for the clubhouse lead at the Olympic Men's Golf Competition
There are 60 players in the field representing 34 countries and they will decide the medals over 4 rounds of stroke play.
David Hearn has had a tough front nine with a double a the 2nd and two further bogey's out in +4 39.
Both look very smart in their black caps and pants, red striped shirts and white belts and shoes. DeLaet has former NHLer Ray Whitney on his bag this week after regular caddie Julien Trudeau decided not to come to Rio due to concerns about the Zika virus.
Justin Rose has just had the first hole in one at the Olympics at the par 3 4th.
The course is wide open, it's like the field is all in the middle of a big park with the hills and condos of Rio as a backdrop. Gil Hanse the course architect has designed a 7,290-yard, par-71, links-style test alongside a nature reserve with no rough, plenty of water surrounded by scrub. The has become a factor as it often blows here up to 40mph.
