Grillo dreams of 'World Cup' glory

For Argentina's Emiliano Grillo, the prospect of representing his country at the Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro is the closest thing he can imagine to being a soccer player at a World Cup.

Golf is set to return to the Olympics after an absence of more than a century and Grillo is itching to be one of the players vying for glory in global sport's showpiece.

"It's pretty nice," Grillo, 23, said with a broad smile when asked about golf being played at the Aug 5-21 Rio Games."It's a big, big thing. It's like a World Cup for football.
