Airline loses Argentinian golfer's clubs en route to Rio 2016
Emiliano Grillo is among those set to compete in the Olympic golf tournament in Rio de Janeiro - that is, if he can locate his clubs.
The Argentinian's golf bag was lost en route to Rio, and he's concerned he won't get it before Thursday's tee time.
@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.

After sending several frantic tweets to American Airlines, Grillo received this response:
@GrilloEmiliano We have a team of folks working on this for you, Emiliano!

Grillo even asked his Twitter followers for help.
Dónde crees que están mis palos?

Where do you think my clubs are?
Hopefully the bag turns up soon.
