Viktor Hovland dominates Tour Championship in incredible fashion
The Norwegian golfer started the Tour Championship as the second favourite after the American Scottie Scheffler. However, the tables have turned and Viktor Hovland currently leads the pack with a hefty lead.
The 25-year-old maintains a 6-stroke lead with a score of -21. His closest competitor is Xander Schaufele with a score of -15. Hovland already has one hand on the FedEx Cup trophy and only needs to see out the remaining holes of the tournament.
This can turn out to be a record-breaking season for Viktor Hovland who is on course to win 3 PGA Tour events in the same year. Additionally, he also won the BMW Championship and is up for the $18 million prize pool after winning the Tour Championship.
