Emiliano Grillo has emotional reunion with his lost golf clubs
Argentinean golfer Emiliano Grillo has had a frantic few days in Rio de Janeiro leading up to the Olympic golf tournament, which starts Thursday. Grillo, No. 39 in the world, thought he might miss the tournament entirely after American Airlines lost his golf clubs.
@AmericanAir delays, rerouting and 20+ calls can't find my golf bag. I am going to miss my chance to compete in the Olympics. @Rio2016

@AmericanAir seriously, find me a human in JFK, MIA, or Sao Paolo that can physically look for my bag and confirm where it is and send it.

Grillo tried to find some humor in the situation, but the clock was counting down and as of Monday afternoon he still didn't have his clubs.

If they were pokeclubs they would all be looking for them #Pokemon
Fortunately for Grillo, they finally arrived Monday night.
I am never letting you go again... Until next flight... ?
