By Liana B. Baker SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) – Sweden's Henrik Stenson and the United States' Bubba Watson will be vying for a gold medal in golf's return to the Olympics after 112 years, an event with less buzz than many in the sport had hoped for due to some high-profile no-shows. Watson and Stenson, ranked No. 1 and No. 2 respectively in the Olympics field of 60 players, will be missing some familiar foes, since the top four men in the world — Jason Day, Dustin Johnson, Jordan Spieth and Rory McIlroy — have controversially decided not to play in the competition, which takes place between Aug. 11 and 14.
