Scottie Scheffler said he felt ‘proud to be an American’ after a dramatic triumph in the final round of the men's golf event to win Olympic gold on Sunday.

The world number one was four shots off the lead heading into the last day, but fired a course record-equalling nine-under-par 62 to clinch the title by a single stroke.
