Hovland Ends Strong in California

Viktor Hovland ended with a strong 69 in the California PGA tournament but remained far from the lead.

Viktor Hovland completed the PGA tournament in Pacific Palisades with a solid 69 on Sunday, making four birdies and two bogeys while finishing with a birdie on the final hole. The Norwegian golfer had barely made the cut halfway through the tournament after a weak second round, playing only for an honorable placement.

While Hovland wrapped up his round, American Jacob Bridgeman held a clear lead with two consecutive 64s and was just beginning his final round. The tournament showcased Hovland's positive ending despite not being in contention for the title.
