CHARLOTTE, North Carolina (Reuters) - While Adam Scott considers Olympic golf to be an "exhibition" sport, Swede Henrik Stenson by contrast wants to embrace the entire experience at the Rio Games next year, on and off the course.

World number three Stenson plans to immerse himself by marching in the opening ceremony, staying in the athletes' village and trying to win a medal for his country as golf returns to the Olympic schedule for the first time since 1904.
