PGA Tour: Hovland Beats Scheffler in Playoff
The tournament turned into a thrilling duel between Hovland and Scheffler. After 72 holes, both players were tied at 21 under Par, before a rain delay of more than 80 minutes pushed play to Monday morning. On the par-4 18th hole, Hovland sank a 7-foot Birdie putt, while Scheffler missed his attempt from just under a meter past the hole. For Hovland, it was his eighth victory on the PGA Tour and the tenth of his career worldwide—his first title since the Valspar Championship in March 2025.
