Viktor Hovland reflected on his performance at the Valspar Championship

Viktor Hovland has already finished playing two rounds of the Valspar Championship and currently stands in second place. The golfer shared about his experience at the tournament in an interview session, stating: ( via ASAP Sports):

“Yeah, very happy with obviously the result and the leaderboard. I still feel like I am kind of getting max out of my game right now. So not to put myself down, but for it to be sustainable at that level I need to strike it a bit better and it needs to be a bit more predictable. So I'm still working through some changes and, yeah, I just need to keep working on it. But it's nice to see that the things that you're working on is leading to better results immediately, and it's always a good sign.”

“You have an ability that you can almost sometimes take for granted. You just wake up every day and you stand over the ball, and you just expect the ball to start in that direction and go that direction and end up somewhere close to the hole. Then it starts to not do that, it's pretty frustrating. You start thinking things you've never thought before…So it is really humbling and, you know, kind of handling those moments, I mean, I think there's a lot of lessons to be learned there," he added.

Hovland will play the third and fourth rounds of the tournament on Saturday and Sunday, respectively. The golfer is currently at 5 under, which is one shot behind the leader.
