Hovland Ends PGA Tour with 69 in California

Viktor Hovland concluded his PGA Tour appearance in Pacific Palisades with a solid 69, though he was never in contention after barely making the cut.

Viktor Hovland shot a 70 on Saturday and followed with a 69 on Sunday, making four birdies and two bogeys in the final round. The Norwegian golfer finished with a birdie on the last hole but was far from the lead, with Jacob Bridgeman holding a clear advantage after two consecutive 64s.

Hovland was among the last players to make the halfway cut after a disappointing second round on Friday, which meant he was essentially playing for a respectable placement rather than competing for the title.
