PGA Tour make unsurprising Viktor Hovland announcement
Hovland three-putted the final green at Valhalla Golf Club last Sunday to ultimately finish solo third at the second men’s major of the year.
Had he drained the birdie putt he would’ve joined Bryson DeChambeau as the clubhouse leader and waited nervously to see if Xander Schauffele had the stones to make a clutch putt when it mattered most.
