For the second consecutive week, Viktor Hovland has provided the early final round highlight with a hole-out in the FedExCup Playoffs.
Last week, it was an ace at the par-3 second at Wilmington Country Club. This week, Hovland found the bottom of the cup from 122 yards out in the middle of the fairway at the par-4 fifth hole at East Lake.
It’s not the first time Hovland has walked to the fifth green at East Lake without his putter. The former Oklahoma State star had a much more adventurous hole-out eagle on the par 4 at last year’s Tour Championship, having to navigate his way over and around some trees for the unlikely eagle.
Hovland has made a habit of holing out this season on the PGA Tour.
First came a hole-in-one at the par-3 eighth during the third round of The Players Championship.
Next came the second round of The Open, where Hovland went flag-hunting at the difficult par-4 15th hole at St. Andrews to vault up the leaderboard on Day 2.
Then there was the aforementioned ace at last week’s BMW Championship, which resulted in a college scholarship for an aspiring student.
The three-time Tour winner certainly isn’t scared to take dead aim.
