TOMMY FLEETWOOD had to settle for silver after Scottie Scheffier showed why he is the world No.1 by shooting a superb final-round 62.
And "nearly man" Rory Mcllroy along with Jon Rahm were left to rue back-nine disasters which cost them a chance of medals.
On a thrilling final day, five different stars held or shared the lead at Le Golf National.
Playing in the second-from-1ast group, Masters champion Scheffler charged through the field to shoot nine under and equal the course record and set the target on 19-under par.
Fleetwood birdied 16 to share the lead but, facing the two hardest holes on the course, he bogeyed 17 and missed the green on 18.
