Viktor Hovland secures FedEx Cup title with five-shot victory at East Lake
Viktor Hovland played the best golf of his life in the final two weeks of the PGA Tour season, and it paid off Sunday with the biggest trophy of his career – a FedEx Cup title along with the $18 million bonus.
Hovland capped off his best season with three victories. Even more staggering is the way he finished. He played his final two tournaments – the BMW Championship at Olympia Fields and the Tour Championship at East Lake – in 36-under par. “I thought 62 would have let me get close to him,” Schauffele said. “He played unbelievably well. He made important putts and he’s just played like a champ.”
“I’ll hold my head up high,” Schauffele said. “It was the most fun I had losing in quite some time. It’s such a weird feeling. I shot 62. I lost by five. Just kudos to Hovi. He played unbelievably well the last few weeks to get himself into this position and to really just put a cherry on top for himself and his team.”
The putt that mattered came at the 14th, the toughest hole at East Lake. Hovland came up short of the green, about 100 feet from the flag, and his pitch was weak and stopped just inside 25 feet from the hole.
