The 26-year-old had a really strong finish to 2023 but this year Viktor Hovland has struggled and his frustrations came to a head at the Masters on Friday evening
Viktor Hovland lost his head on the 15th at Augusta National to throw away his chance of playing Saturday in the Masters.
After working his way into a good position on the green, the Norwegian had a putt for par to stay at 6-over. His effort up the slope, however, agonisingly lipped out leaving a small tap-in for bogey. Approaching the putt in a relaxed manner, Hovland casually hit the ball with one hand and saw it slip past the hole and back downhill.
The 26-year-old composed himself, walked to the putt, used two hands this time, and sunk it for a double bogey. Frustrated, Hovland thew his ball into the lake before the 15th green.
