After starting the day six shots behind the leader, up-and-coming Norwegian Viktor Hovland captured his third international win of 2021 at the Hero World Challenge golf tournament in Albany, Bahamas.
Hovland’s 6-under 66 brought him to 18-under 270 for the tournament, hosted by Tiger Woods, one better than Scottie Scheffler. His victory came after a Sunday collapse from third-round leader Collin Morikawa.
Hovland carded back-to-back eagles at the par-4 14th and par-5 15th holes, followed by a birdie at No. 16 to reach 20 under. Hovland after receiving the trophy from Woods said: “To stand next to him and get this trophy is surreal.”
