Norwegians Far From PGA Title Contention

Norwegian golfers Kristoffer Reitan and Viktor Hovland remain far from contention in the second PGA Tour playoff tournament, with Reitan in 16th and Hovland in 33rd place.

Kristoffer Reitan finished his final round strongly with birdies on holes 15, 17, and 18, ending at 3-under par for the tournament. The 28-year-old had a bogey on hole 4 before birdies on holes 8 and 9, then started the second half with another bogey. michezonews.co.za

Viktor Hovland's round was more inconsistent, with a birdie on the opening hole followed by a double bogey. He added birdies on holes 8, 11, and 17 but also had bogeys on holes 13 and 16, finishing at 2-over par. Both golfers have significant ground to make up to contend for the title.
