Viktor Hovland Sets up Well for Liberty National
3 years agoViktor Hovland has never played Liberty National before, but he certainly possesses the skill-set that I am looking for here. Over his last 36 rounds, the two-time PGA Tour winner ranks fifth in proximity from 175-200 yards, sixth in proximity from 175-200 yards, and ninth in proximity from 200 yards plus. Hovland is actually the only player in this field to rank top-ten in all of the key proximity distances correlated with Liberty National. Hovland also ranks 11th in bogey avoidance, and sixth in strokes gained par-fives. While he is coming off a middle of the pack performance in his last start at the WGC- FedEx St. Jude Invitational, it's worth noting that his ball-striking was fine, and he lost 4.6 strokes short game and putting.
