FedEx Cup champion Viktor Hovland is a fan of the metalcore genre in music, and he recently described the genre in a very funny way.
Hovland had a great season on the PGA Tour as he won three titles this year, including the season-ending FedEx Cup, after beating Xander Schauffele by a five-stroke margin.
In a recent chat with the PGA Tour, the 25-year-old Norwegian talked about his favorite music genre.
"The genre that I kind of like the most is called metalcore," he said. "There's like this reoccurring word that they usually just like put in the song, 'BLEGH!!!'"
