Hovland Takes Lead at Travelers

Viktor Hovland holds a one-shot lead heading into the final round of the Travelers Championship after a stunning six-under 64, capped by a birdie on the 18th, putting him at 20-under. Scottie Scheffler, the world No. 1 and tournament favorite, lost the lead after a bogey on the final hole — a familiar story as he’s fallen behind going into Sunday for the second straight year. The crowd roared, especially Norwegian fans chanting “row” — a Viking-inspired cheer Hovland joined with delight, calling it his first live experience of the chant. Both players traded birdies and pars throughout, with Hovland’s closing burst sealing his advantage. While they’ve pulled away from the field, Hovland warned that the course still allows for big scores — and both men know tomorrow’s round will decide everything.
