    Justin Thomas is in Abu Dhabi for the first time
    Spaniard Jon Rahm’s thrilling victory at last weekend’s US Open vaulted him past American Justin Thomas (pictured) and into the top spot in the final Olympic Golf Rankings, which were released on Tuesday. Americans rounded out the top five with Thomas, Collin Morikawa, Xander Schauffele and Bryson DeChambeau expected to represent Team USA this summer in Tokyo. World No. 2 Dustin Johnson had previously said he would not compete in the men’s tournament, which will be held from July 29 to Aug. 1 at the Kasumigaseki Country Club, clearing the way for DeChambeau to take the fourth US spot. No other country has more than two qualifiers in the 60-player field. Image Credit: AFP
