In just his 17th PGA Tour start, Viktor Hovland notched his first victory at the Puerto Rico Open. Hovland drilled a 30-foot birdie at the 72nd hole to edge Josh Teater by one stroke. “I was like OK, I’m not going to hit this putt short. I had a good line on it, I thought, and I just whacked it.” Hovland, a native of Oslo, became the first Norwegian native to win on the PGA Tour. He joins an elite group of players who since 2014 claimed their first tour victory at the age of 22.
