Things remained rather slow in the second. The energy level rose in the third as southpaw Solis started…
Despite suffering a costly double bogey at the final hole on Friday, Japan’s Hideki Matsuyama managed to maintain his position at the top of the leaderboard after round two of the Olympic men’s golf competition at Le Golf National.
