LET'S HOV IT LARGE!

Rory’s pairfect plan with Viktor

- NEIL McLEMAN

VIKTOR HOVLAND will go into next month’s Ryder Cup as the hottest player on the planet – and the chosen one of his European team-mates.

Even before his debut in 2021, captain Padraig Harrington asked his players who they wanted to play with at Whistling Straits and they all said the mega-talented Norwegian.

And that will definitely not change in Rome this time round after the new world No.4 struck a psychological blow for Luke Donald’s team.
