Grillo had quite the adventurous experience in order to get to Rio.  

When he finally arrived, Emiliano was missing one very important item: his golf bag. Actually, it should be more like, HIS GOLF BAG!!! Grillo tried reaching out to the airline company on Twitter, stressing that his chance at competing in the Olympics is now hanging in the balance.  

But American Airlines isn't the only one to blame for this problem. Grillo also sent a tweet to LATAM Airlines. 

Both companies have since reached out to Grillo in an effort to help him locate his golf bag. 

Even as he goes through this stressful situation, Emiliano is still finding a way to inject some humor into his ordeal, conducting a poll to see where his followers think his bag is currently located. 

Grillo is scheduled to tee off at 6:30 a.m. on Thursday. Needless to say, time is running out!
