DATELINE - Pompano Beach FL
Local duffers (odd name for golfers, but we digress) got quite the surprise when someone who identified himself to police as "Florida Man" decided to take a drive onto the golf course and start doing donuts.
There's some fine investigative reporting here from our Man On the Scene Rosh Lowe.
The Men's Olympic Golf tournament began yesterday (July 28), and it will consist of 72 holes or four rounds or 18 holes.
There are 60 golfers competing in the tournament. After the first round of play, 13 strokes separate first place from last place. With three rounds to go and ties galore, truly anything can happen.
Four golfers are representing the United States in this tournament. However, even before competition began, there was a shake-up after Bryson DeChambeau tested positive for COVID-19 and had to withdraw from the tournament.
