First-ranked golfer Scottie Scheffler won the Gold Medal in the Paris Olympics on Sunday.

Media reports said the 28-year-old American rallied from four shots behind to victory with a 9-under 62 final round at Le Golf National.

Tommy Fleetwood of Great Britain got the Silver Medal and Hideki Matsuyama of Japan won the Bronze.

The winners stood on a podium with their medals and Scheffler got emotional as the National Anthem played and the American flag was raised.

Scheffler, who was standing on the highest platform in the middle, was seen wiping away tears.

“You literally cannot put a price on this,” Golf Digest staff writer Christopher Powers said in a viral post to X featuring the clip.

Scheffler has already won the PGA Tournament six times. He also has two Masters titles, including one from this year.

The golf pro faced controversy in the spring when he was arrested over a traffic incident in Louisville, though all charges were later dropped.

With this year’s Olympics past the halfway point, the United States led all other countries in the number of medals with 69 total as of Sunday.

China boasted the most Gold Medals with 19, though the U.S. was right behind with 18.

A number of other contests still have yet to be completed, as the summer games have roughly another week to go.

Leading U.S. athletes who have won the Gold in this year’s games so far include swimmer Katie Ledecky and gymnast Simone Biles.

The Paris Olympics faced backlash due to a drag show parody evoking “The Last Supper” with Jesus Christ and his apostles.

Organizers reportedly apologized to anyone who took offense at the performance, one of several acts during the opening ceremony.

There has also been an uproar over two boxers in the Olympics who were previously barred from a women’s competition over gender concerns.

President Joe Biden should “be careful” with his proposal to reform the Supreme Court , Justice Neil Gorsuch suggested in a new interview.

The plan — which includes term limits, an enforceable ethics code, and a push for an amendment to crack down on presidential immunity — came up during an interview conducted by “Fox News Sunday” anchor Shannon Bream.

“You are not in a bubble here at the courts. There are real-world events happening. The president has proposed now changes to the court, supported, it appears, by the vice president who looks like she’s going to be the Democratic nominee. How does the court feel about potential changes, term limits, ethics codes that are enforced by someone in ways that it isn’t now?” Bream asked.

Gorsuch, who was nominated to the high court by former President Donald Trump, replied, “Shannon, you are not going to be surprised that I’m not going to get into what’s now a political issue during a presidential election year. I don’t think that would be helpful.”

He added, “I have one thought to add: It is what the independent judiciary means — what does it mean to you as an American? It means that when you are unpopular, you can get a fair hearing under the law and under the Constitution. If you are in the majority, you don’t need judges and juries to hear you and protect your rights. You are popular! It’s there for the moments when the spotlight is on you, when the government’s coming after you. And don’t you want a ferociously independent judge and a jury of your peers to make those decisions? Isn’t that your right as an American? And so I just say, be careful.”

Biden released his proposal last week after he ended his re-election bid as a growing number of Democrats called on him to step aside following a fumbling debate performance that raised concerns about his mental acuity and electability. Vice President Kamala Harris, whom Biden chose to be his successor, has since clinched the Democratic Party’s presidential nomination.

While Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) has expressed openness to pursuing at least part of Biden’s proposed overhaul through legislation, Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) responded by calling the plan “dead on arrival” in the House. Biden shot back, saying Johnson is “dead on arrival,” and faced backlash for the comment. Johnson replied by posting a clip to X from the debate that led to Biden dropping out. “I really don’t know what he said at the end of that sentence,” Trump said of Biden in the video clip. “I don’t think he knows what he said either.”
