Youth Olympic Games set to begin in Argentina
The men will compete against each other Oct. 9-11 in a 54-hole, stroke-play competition, with the women competing against each other at the same time. Once medalists have been determined, the players will take part in the team competition with fourball play on Oct. 13, foursomes play on Oct. 14 and stroke play on Oct. 15 where the scores of both players will count toward a 72-hole total.
Among the notables in the field are Americans Lucy Li and Akshay Bhatia. Li is the highest-ranked woman in the world under age 18 and has played in multiple U.S. Women's Opens, while Bhatia was a runner-up this year at the U.S. Junior Amateur. Among those teeing it up in Buenos Aires, Bhatia is ranked behind only world No. 6 Nicolai Hoejgaard from Denmark.
