More than six weeks removed from wrapping up his swimming career at the Olympic Games in Rio, Michael Phelps made a stop at the Hazeltine National Golf Course for the Ryder Cup celebrity pro-am.
Phelps was in Minnesota to speak with the U.S. golf team facing off against a group of top European players, but he took some time to discuss swimming as well, having had some time to reflect on what happened in Brazil, where he added six medals to his extensive collection, five of them gold.
The reflection began when Phelps returned to his Phoenix-area home and while sorting through the items in his closet found his goal sheet for 2016. Phelps told the New York Times’ Karen Crouse that of the six events he swam, the only one in which he hit his goal time was his split on the 400 free relay. Phelps swam the second leg in 47.12, and along with Caeleb Dressel, Ryan Held and Nathan Adrian helped the U.S. earn an upset gold medal.
Phelps went on to win gold medals in the 200 fly and 200 IM, a silver in the 100 fly and golds in both the 800 free and 400 medley relays. Phelps won the 200 IM by almost two seconds ahead of Japan’s Kosuke Hagino, but his 1:54.66 was two-thirds of a second short of his goal: a world record. (The current mark belongs to Ryan Lochte at 1:54.00.)
