In the Gold medal match Liam lost 118-116 to Reo Wilde of the United States, after beating Spaniard Jose Duo in the semi-finals on Wednesday.

Both archers got underway with two 10s and a 9, to tie after the first three arrows, but the American pulled ahead by a point after the second end, shooting three 10s to Liam's 9-10-10.
