Hovland Finishes Strong in California

Viktor Hovland concluded the PGA tournament in Pacific Palisades with a solid 69, though he was well off the pace set by leader Jacob Bridgeman.

Norwegian golfer Viktor Hovland finished with a respectable 69 in the final round of the PGA tournament in California, making four birdies and two bogeys. He barely made the cut after a weak second round on Friday, playing for a respectable placement rather than contention.

Hovland's 70 on Saturday and 69 on Sunday put him far behind leader Jacob Bridgeman, who had a clear advantage after two consecutive rounds of 64. When Hovland completed his final round with a birdie on the last hole, many players including Bridgeman had just begun their final round.
