Hovland Recovers with 2-Under Par at Scottish Open

Viktor Hovland overcame a rocky start to finish two under par in the first round of the Scottish Open, his first tournament since winning on the PGA Tour.

Hovland began with an immediate bogey but recovered with three birdies to end the day at two under par. The 28-year-old struggled with his putting throughout the round, showing visible frustration as he played eight consecutive holes at par before his first birdie. amunra-online.pl

Norwegian compatriot Kristoffer Reitan had an inconsistent opening round, finishing one over par with three birdies and four bogeys. Several players currently share the lead with a three-shot advantage over Hovland, while many top players have yet to begin their rounds.
