TOKYO (Reuters) - Japan's Mone Inami marked a great finish on Saturday by winning the first ever medal in Olympic golf for her country.

The 22-year-old's silver medal at the Tokyo Olympics was a surprise after high-profile Hideki Matsuyama failed to bag a bronze at the men's competition. Matsuyama wished Inami good luck, she said earlier.
