Viktor Hovland Searching For A Short Game Coming Into The Masters
8 months agoThe more things change, the more they stay the same. That has been the story for Viktor Hovland in 2024 after taking The Tour by storm last season. His shortcomings around the greens was a highly scrutinized part of his game at the beginning of his professional career. After a much improved 86th ranking in strokes gained around the green (0.060) in 2023, the Norwegian has fallen 100 spots in 2024 (-0.811). Luckily, Augusta National has a way of bringing players out of slumps with a good course history, and in four starts, Hovland hasn't finished worse than T32. At $10,500 on FanDuel, it's a scary pick knowing what the floor could be, but there is a potential ownership advantage here that's worth consideration.
