Viktor Hovland Looks To Defend At Jack's Place
6 months agoFor Viktor Hovland, 2024 hasn't been as fruitful as last season when the 26-year-old won three times, including back-to-back victories to close the year and win the FedEx Cup. Most of it can be traced back to the odd shuffling of coaches since then, however, having returned to former instructor Joe Mayo has seen a quick shift in Hovland's game with a scare at the PGA Championship a few weeks ago. At Valhalla, he ranked fifth in strokes gained on approach (+1.66) and seventh in strokes gained off the tee (+1.14). The struggle remains with chipping for the Norwegian, as the year's second major was the first time he gained strokes around the green all season. That sore spot is enough to have cause for concern when considering him for fantasy lineups at $11,200 on FanDuel, but things seem to be going in the right direction now for anyone wanting to take on a little risk.
