Scottie Scheffler has suggested that losing the Travelers Championship in a Monday playoff is slightly easier to accept due to how hard he knows Viktor Hovland works on his game.
Hovland emerged victorious at TPC River Highlands as the two men returned on Monday to finish off their duel at the final signature event of the season on the PGA Tour.
The Norwegian piled the pressure on by holing his birdie putt first as the pair played the 18th hole once again. Nevertheless, few would have imagined that Scheffler would miss his putt from three feet to extend the playoff.
It has the potential to be a significant moment in Hovland’s career, with the 28-year-old constantly searching for the magic formula that will allow him to realise his full potential.
Remarkably, it was only Hovland’s second PGA Tour win since lifting the FedEx Cup in 2023.
