The 60-player field for the Olympic men’s golf competition is set, with the latest update of the Official World Golf Ranking.

Four Americans will compete at Le Golf National in Paris, France, Aug. 1-4: Scottie Scheffler, Xander Schauffele, Wyndham Clark and Collin Morikawa.

Patrick Cantlay was the odd man out. His tie for third at Pinehurst No. 2 was enough to bump him to No. 8 in the world, but not strong enough to pass No. 7 Morikawa. Champion Bryson DeChambeau moved to 10th in the world and was the sixth-highest-ranked American.

Corey Conners, however, played his way to France. The Canadian tied for ninth at the U.S. Open and moved to 37th in the world, one spot ahead of Adam Hadwin, to secure the country’s second opening.

Two players can qualify per country unless they are ranked inside the top 15 in the OWGR, then up to four can earn spots.
