U.S. Open recap: Hovland finishes as low amateur, breaks record

It was another day at the beach for Viktor Hovland.

Hovland, who wore his orange polo to represent the Oklahoma State men’s golf team, shot 4-under-par 280 in the U.S. Open on Sunday at Pebble Beach.

He surpassed Jack Nicklaus’ mark to set a 72-hole U.S. Open amateur record. Nicklaus shot 282 in 1960. In celebration, OSU shared this video, which showcased a multitude of Hovy bobbleheads.

Shake your head if you just shot the lowest 72-hole score by an amateur in US Open history. #c2e #okstate pic.
