A radiant sun lit up the golf green on the third day of mixed team competitions in Hurlingham Club, where the Argentine pair Ela Anacona and Mateo Fernandez de Oliveira won the bronze medal.

The Argentine duo’s scorecard had 138 strokes in the third round, and a total of 273 (-7).

"I love playing as a team, we did well from the first hole until the 18th. Luckily, we complement each other well and this is the result,” said Fernandez de Oliveira. "Having the medal is a huge satisfaction, we are very happy."

Meanwhile, his team partner Anacona credited their frequent, joint training sessions for their success.

Thailand’s Atthaya Thitikul and Vanchai Luangnitikul proved the best overall during the three days of competition. They had a combined score of 140 strokes in the third round and 268 in total (-12). Behind them by only one stroke were the US golfers Lucy Li and Akshay Bhatia.
