Hovland regains belief with Valspar victory

PALM HARBOUR - Viktor Hovland finally found a solid rhythm for the first time in a month, and it paid off at the Valspar Championship.

The Norwegian notched birdies on three of his final five holes to shoot a four-under 67 and win the tournament on March 23 at Innisbrook Resort's Copperhead Course in Palm Harbour, Florida.

Hovland, who missed the cut in his previous three tournaments, finished at 11-under 273 for a one-stroke victory over Justin Thomas.

"It's still the same swing," Hovland said. "I hit a lot of disgusting shots, but they happened to go where I look... Somehow this week I was able to hit the good shots that I can a lot more often than I have been in recent weeks."
