This weekend the Open Championship is returning to the Royal Troon Golf Club in Troon, Scotland for the first time since 2016. The Royal Troon will present several challenges for golfers including small greens, challenging fairways to hit, and potentially windy conditions.
Being able to strike the ball well with your irons, and knocking down tough putts will be a point of emphasis for those competing this weekend.
Viktor Hovland's recent play has not been up to his usual standards and he has been inconsistent thus far in 2024. Yet Hovland posted his best score this season at the PGA Championship at Valhalla Golf Club, where he finished in third place.
