Another drive into the rough at 16, but once again was able to find the surface with the approach. Pin high and about 20 feet away

Another two-putt par for Viktor Hovland at 16 (this time it’s actually 16). Stays at -7

Tee shot went into the bunker at 17. Pitched it about four feet beyond the hole, but missed that putt. It’s a bogey at 17 to drop back to -6. Par five coming up.

So. It looks like he drove it in the middle of the fairway at 18. But it ended up right next to (or maybe in?) the tree. So he had to go back to the tee. What an unbelievably bad break

Drove it in the middle of the fairway and past the tree with his second attempt (third shot with the penalty). 218 yards left in with his fourth

Ah. Yup there it is. He drove it in the tree. Unfortunately that’s fucking hilarious

Ended up hitting an excellent shot to pin high and about 15 feet away with his fourth. Somehow has a chance to make par

Can’t get the par putt to fall. I mean you really can’t say anything about that one. Maybe the unluckiest break known to man. You just have to laugh. First nine of +1 for Viktor Hovland at Pebble. Heads to the front at -5 for the tournament

scottie: surging on sunday as usual meanwhile, viktor hovland:

Two-putt par at 1. Heads to the par-five second at -5

Klaebo is insane, huh? FORTJENT!

Drive at 2 sneaks into the first cut on the right side. About 240 yards left in with his second. We’ll see if he can reach the green in two

Way left of the green with his second at two and into the rough. Going to be a bit of an awkward pitch over a bunker to try and get up and down for birdie

Nice pitch to nine feet underneath the hole. Will have that for birdie

Misses another birdie putt. Stays -5

Just made a birdie at the par-five 6th to get back to even for the day and -6 for the tournament. Three holes to go at Pebble

Missed a couple of good looks for birdie late and finished up with three straight pars. It’s a final round of even for Viktor Hovland at Pebble. Finishes -6. Not the week we were hoping for, but still encouraging signs with the approach play. Back at it at The Genesis next week.

Viktor is right back at it at The Genesis this week. Tees off at 11:39 AM EST on Thursday and 2:13 PM EST on Friday. Playing with Cam Young and Shane Lowry.
