A lot of folks out at TPC Sawgrass for the Monday finish of the 2022 Players Championship will be saying, “It’s 5 o’clock somewhere,” after Viktor Hovland’s early-morning ace.
Drinks were on Shane Lowry last night after the former Champion Golfer of the Year aced the famed par-3 17th at the Players Stadium Course in Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida, and today they’ll be on Hovland. The Norwegian took dead aim at the 219-yard par-3 8th hole, landed his ball just short of the pin and watched it trickle to the bottom of the cup. Hovland dished out hi-fives all around, including to fellow playing competitor Sungjae Im, and then smiled a goofy smile as he picked up the third man in his group, Kevin Streelman.
Eight holes-in-one have been made on No. 8, with the last two coming from Brendon Todd (2021) and Michael Thompson (2013).
