Viktor Hovland explains the subtle putter grip change that helped him lead the field in strokes gained putting, bringing new stability and speed control on the greens.
He breaks down why this course demands patience, how the short game on tight lies can make even great shots look bad, and why he canโt afford to be aggressive off the tee right now.
Hovland also reflects on past struggles at this venue, the progress heโs made around the greens, and what still needs fixing โ especially with the driver โ as he looks to build momentum for 2026.
From early birdies to grinding through tricky pins, Viktor offers a candid look at whatโs working, what isnโt, and why putting the ball in play is the key this week.
