Viktor Hovland won the Hero World Challenge with more excitement than he needed, clinching it with a 20-foot bogey putt on the final hole for a 3-under 69 to join tournament host Tiger Woods as the only back-to-back winners.
Hovland took a four-shot lead at the turn, which dropped to two by the 18th when his 6-iron from the slope above a bunker turned hard left and into the water. He took a penalty drop and hit a full wedge to about 20 feet for a chance to save bogey.
Scheffler, in the sandy area right of the green, ran his chip ran over the lip to 10 feet away, giving him a par putt to force a playoff if Hovland missed.
