Hovland Recovers After Slow Scottish Open Start

Viktor Hovland overcame a challenging start to card a respectable two-under-par 69 in the first round of the Scottish Open. The Norwegian golfer began with an immediate bogey but recovered with three birdies, though he expressed frustration with his putting throughout the round. trojkonferencja2024.pl

Hovland's fellow countryman Kristoffer Reitan sits one over par after a more inconsistent round with three birdies and four bogeys. Multiple players share the lead at five under par, with Hovland three shots back. This marks Hovland's first tournament since his PGA Tour victory in late June against Scottie Scheffler.
