Watch: Viktor Hovland thanks Scottie Scheffler for the ‘read’ during round 2 of The Sentry 2024

Viktor Hovland finished the second round of The Sentry 2024 with an incredible 53-footer eagle on the final hole of the day. As the ball went inside the cup, he received a massive round of applause from the crowd, to which he responded by waving in appreciation. However, before leaving the course, he made sure to thank Scottie Scheffler for reading the putt.

Hovland posted a bogey-free 67 and aggregated at 14 under after 36 holes. He was two strokes behind Scheffler, who was grouped alongside him for the Friday round.

The 25-year-old Norwegian made four birdies in his Friday round. He is tied with Chris Kirk (65), Collin Morikawa (67), and Byeong Hun An (64) for fifth place.

Scheffler's second-round 64 featured eight birdies, one eagle, and a bogey. Tyrrell Hatton, Brendon Todd, and Sungjae Im are one stroke back at 15-under. Hatton had the lowest score on Friday, as he posted 11-under-62 with the help of ten birdies, an eagle, and a lone bogey. Todd carded 64, while Sungjae Im shot a 65.

Sahith Theegala, who was leading after the first round, slipped to T9 after shooting a 4-under 69. He is tied with Matt Fitzpatrick (64), Akshay Bhatia (64), Sahith Theegala (69), Jordan Spieth (67), Brian Harman (66), and Sepp Straka (66) at 13-under.
