Scott Hend was the nation’s other male representative, as Jason Day, Adam Scott and Marc Leishman all ruled themselves out.
It was the first time golf had been played at the Olympics since the 1904 games, which were held in St. Louis, Missouri.
Fraser also has professional wins on the European, Asian and Challenge Tours.
He said the renovation, undertaken by wife Carlie’s Hygge Spaces and Design, was “all about restoring” the property, in a suburb renowned for its mid-century modern architecture.
“We wanted to protect one of the homes because they seem to all get bulldozed and we don’t want Beaumaris to lose its soul,” he said.
“We feel like it’s got so much to offer families.”

Fraser said the pair were “really passionate” about protecting the suburb’s heritage.
“Mid-century homes are such an easy way of living,” he said. “You’re able to put your own touches on them and still maintain the original features.”
Original 1960s timber wall panels were restored in the tastefully updated home, which also features an entry foyer and half-height wall dividing two entertaining spaces.
Multiple sash and clerestory windows bring natural light flooding into the home.
The house has a price guide of $1.59-$1.65m.

The house wraps around a lengthy hardwood entertaining deck alongside landscaped gardens and an in-ground pool.
Eview Group Hartrick agent Sam Hartrick said the single-level home would suit families and downsizers.
“I think it’s the perfect family home given the area and the accommodation for the growing family,” Mr Hartrick said.
He added that the vendors “went down the path of bringing it to life” with their restoration.
“It was probably a little bit tired and needed a bit of rejuvenation and the owners certainly did that,” Mr Hartrick said.
CoreLogic records reveal the golfer purchased the property for $1.55m in March 2018.
