Viktor Hovland was fully aware of what was going on at the Masters as he neared the finish line of the tournament.
The 21-year-old was battling for the Silver Cup, awarded to the Amateur who finishes with the best score for the tournament. What happened next would define Hovland’s Masters experience.
The Cowboy’s top competition for the Cup, Alvaro Ortiz, made a mistake while trying to get back in the race, helping secure the silverware for Hovland. Hovland said he couldn’t comprehend how many people were watching him win the Cup during the tournament.
“Playing Augusta, that course is amazing,” Hovland said.
