Norwegian Victor Hovland may be making his debut appearance at Wentworth Club this week, but he arrives in a rich vein of form.
Following his tied-tenth finish in the PGA Tour’s The Greenbrier event last week, the 21-year-old tied an 18-year-old record having shot 17 consecutive sub-70 rounds – America’s Bob Estes the only other man to achieve that feat since records began in 1983.
Such remarkable consistency has had the Oslo-born player, who is a remarkable 100 under par in his last seven starts, rising from 340th to 101st in the Official World Golf Ranking since he turned professional after the US Open in June of this year, where he finished as the low amateur.
Although still in the infancy of his career, we can see Hovland strengthening his growing reputation with another good performance this week.
