Hovland charges within one of leader Spaun at US Open
- Norwegian golfer Viktor Hovland narrowed the gap to just one stroke behind J.J. Spaun during the early stages of Friday’s second round at the 125th US Open at Oakmont.
- Hovland, making his 24th Major start and striving for his first major victory, has shown improvement following a period of strong performances, including a recent triumph on the PGA Tour at the Valspar event, after overcoming several missed cuts earlier in the season.
- During the round, Hovland made an eagle, five birdies, one double bogey, and three bogeys, including a bogey at the 18th hole, then responded with a 23-foot birdie putt at the first hole to pull within a stroke of Spaun’s lead.
- Hovland admitted that until recently, he lacked strong confidence in his ability to strike the ball consistently, but now he feels more at ease and doesn't need to consciously analyze his swing during competition, demonstrating a more natural and improved mindset.
- Hovland’s charge suggests he remains a strong contender among a deep field featuring major winners like Spaun, five-time major winner Koepka, and recent Masters champion Rory McIlroy at this iconic Oakmont venue.
