Hovland finishes as the low amateur at Masters

On August 19, 2018, Oklahoma State men's golfer Viktor Hovland won the U.S Amateur Championship.

Winning the title meant the Norwegian-born golfer could compete in the 2019 Masters, U.S. Open and Open Championship.

In the 2019 Masters tournament, Hovland finished 3-under-par and had the lowest score among the six amateurs competing.

In the last round of the Masters, Hovland shot 1-under-par.

Hovland's finish was one shot better than former Arkansas standout and current amateur Alvaro Ortiz.

Devon Bling, who Hovland defeated to win the U.S. Amateur Championship, finished 3-over-par.

The tournament was historic for Hovland as he became the first Norweigan golfer to compete at the Masters.
