Hovland Stuns Scheffler in Playoff Thriller | San Antonio News

Viktor Hovland clinched the Travelers Championship in a nail-biting playoff against Scottie Scheffler, sinking a clutch seven-footer while Scheffler missed a four-footer — the win sealed after Scheffler needed an eight-footer to force extra holes. Both players birdied the 18th, but Hovland’s tricky downhill putt just kissed the cup, while Scheffler’s aggressive attempt rolled wide. It’s Hovland’s 10th global title and 8th PGA Tour win, his last coming in March 2025. Scheffler, now 4-2nd in the year, faced roaring Norwegian fans and American cheers — echoing last year’s Ryder Cup drama — as Norway’s next World Cup match lands in Dallas, Scheffler’s hometown, adding spice to their rivalry.
