Chapter 414: Award Day
The award day of golf can take longer than that of a regular tournament, because golf awards are not only awarded to athletes with gold, silver and bronze medals, but also various awards such as best demeanor, best goal, best long shot, etc., which are basically similar to the awards of golf majors.

It's a tradition of golf, and even the Olympics have to be respected......
On the day of the award of the Olympic golf competition, the grandmaster happened to have no snooker competition.
The snooker game has also entered the tenth match day, and the grandmaster is about to play the top 32 to the top 16 matches that start in the afternoon, but it's the grandmaster's turn to play tomorrow.
On the day of the award ceremony, the weather was fine and the visibility was very good. The Kaesong Olympic golf course itself is located on a hilly area at a high altitude, so when you look southeast from here, you can see the sea 20 kilometers away.
Perhaps because Fang Zhengying participated in the golf competition of this Olympic Games, coupled with the relationship between the grandmaster and Fang Zhengying, the award of today's Olympic golf competition actually alarmed the king of Goguryeo.
The head of state personally presents the award for the winner, which has never been seen before in an Olympic competition. Not to mention the head of state, even the president of the International Olympic Committee will not award a champion medal to any champion. Medals are usually awarded to champions by the presidents of major international organizations in the world of sport.
For example, the men's 100m fly, the heaviest gold medal in the Olympic Games, is usually awarded by the IAAF president himself.
For example, the Olympic men's basketball championship medal is usually awarded by the FIBA president.
In the past, the champion of the Olympic golf competition was awarded the championship medal by the president of the International High Federation. But today, this power of Mr. Blatter, the president of the International High Federation, has been replaced by the newly arrived King of Goguryeo.
No way, no matter in which aspect, the International High Federation is just an international organization, and the king of Goguryeo is a solid head of state, whether it is identity or influence, it is far greater than a mere president of the International High Federation.
Most people don't know that this Goguryeo king suddenly appeared at the award ceremony for Mao Hui and wanted to personally present the awards to the champions of the male and female adult groups of the golf competition, but the grandmaster they knew.
At the dinner last night, the king of Goguryeo was a series of toasts, if a lord of Yingyun would not let this king of Goguryeo do this, then with the addition of a prince of Yanguo, this weight is not something that a mere king of Goguryeo can bear.
Now that he has put down his body to make amends, the king of Goguryeo does not mind giving the young couple of Yingyun county lord and grandmaster another face, one is the Yingyun county lord of the Dahua royal family, and the other is about to become the guest of honor of the Yingyun county lord and is also about to become the stepson of Yan Guogong, and awarding the championship medal to the two of them will definitely not insult him, the king of Goguryeo.
For such a high-end golf competition, the award is also divided into two parts: regular and unofficial awards.
The regular award is nothing more than the total score award, the net award and the team award, but in the Olympic golf competition, there is no team award, in addition, the net award is generally set up for amateur golf competitions, so in the Olympic golf competition, there is also no net award.
The winner of the Olympic golf competition is the overall prize.
The so-called total award, to be explained in more popular terms, refers to the player with the lowest total score in the four rounds of 72 holes and 288 par in the competition.
Of course, the player who won the overall prize was the Olympic golf champion.
In these four rounds, the Grandmaster shot a total of 169 under par of 119, so this overall prize was won by the Grandmaster without exception.
As for the women's competition, the honor was shared by Fang Zhengying and Sophia Singh.
In fact, according to the requirements of Grand Slam tournaments and other professional tournaments, when two or more players have the same total score at the end of the four rounds, then they will have to play an extra round to determine the final champion.
But at the Olympics, there was no such thing as a play-off. Grand Slam tournaments and other professional tournaments involve championship money, so it is up to the play-offs to determine the winner. After all, no one wants to share a high championship prize with others, so extra games are the only way to solve the tie.
But the Olympics are different, there are no competition bonuses, there are only supreme honors. Therefore, the Olympic Games do not mind awarding a championship medal to two or more golf players at the same time, so that these players can share this supreme honor.
At the 1972 Berlin Olympics in Germany, six players tied for the first place in the men's senior golf competition, while four players tied for first place in the women's senior golf category. Because there was no extra match, so on the golf award day at that Olympic Games, ten gold medals were awarded at once, and it is estimated that the Berlin Olympic Organizing Committee is also about to cry, Nima, that is the pure gold gold medal of the sixth sister......
Speaking of which, the Grandmaster had to complain about the Olympic gold medal in his previous life. In previous lives, there were very few Olympic gold medals in pure gold, and most of them were symbolic. But in this world, it's really different, the gold medal of the Olympic Games is made of pure gold, and the value is very high!
Because of Fang Zhengying, Sophia Singh also enjoyed the honor of being personally awarded by the King of Goguryeo, which made the tall Yanma very excited.
The most important award of the Olympic golf competition and the only official award was snatched away by the king of Goguryeo, which made the president of the International High Federation helpless. There is no way, the first person of the International High Federation can only award the next informal award.
The so-called informal award has a popular name - the fun award.
Judging by the name of this popular name, you can know what these awards are.
For example, the most common of these is the BB Award, which is usually awarded to the player who finished second to last in the overall score, and is an encouraging award.
Naturally, the Grandmaster couldn't get this award......
Other fun awards, such as Best Etiquette, Best Style, Best Dress, Longest Distance, Nearest Flagpole, Best Midline, Albatross, Eagle, Birdie, Wave, Big Wave, Hole-in-One, Seven Jump, Most Water-Friendly Award, Prince of the Bunkers...... And so on, these messy awards are full of fun, which makes the grandmaster dazzled, but he is also soft to win the award.
