Viktor Hovland rallies past Justin Thomas to win a chaotic Valspar Championship

Thanks to a near-perfect finish on Sunday, Viktor Hovland has fixed what has been a very rough stretch of golf.

Hovland, who was three shots off the lead at one point on his back nine, carded three birdies in his final five holes to overtake Justin Thomas and claim the Valspar Championship at Innisbrook Resort in Palm Harbor, Florida, on Sunday afternoon. That marks his seventh career win on the PGA Tour, and came after the 27-year-old had missed three straight cuts.

"It's still kind of sinking in. It was just really cool," Hovland said on NBC.
