Xander Schauffele's father was a French-German decathlete in Germany who dreamed of competing in the Games. At age 20, a drunk driver hit him and he lost the vision in his left eye and those Olympic aspirations. On Sunday, Xander became the men’s Olympic champion with a final-round 4-under-par 67, nearly four decades after the accident dashed the athletic hopes of his father – also Schauffle's lifelong swing coach. #olympicspirit #tokyoolympics
