I thought this was pretty cool. Hovland is the most promising Norwegian player in a long time and qualified for the PGA Tour along with another Norwegian (Kristoffer Ventura) this year.

After a final-round 64 on Sunday at Greenbrier, Hovland has now played 17 straight rounds on the PGA tour with rounds in the 60s. That ties Bob Estes' record from 1983.

64, 69, 66, 69, 65, 69, 69, 68, 64, 66, 66, 64, 65, 68, 68, 68, 64.

He had a couple of rounds in the 70s in the KFT playoffs between those rounds, but that's not the PGA tour.

WHITE SULPHUR SPRINGS, W. Va. – Sunday was a good day for golfers from Norway.

To me, that is a very big, personal. accomplishment. 17 straight (pga) rounds in the 60s. 

Sounds like we will be hearing alot more about this man, and his game. 

Any bets on 20 straight?

Depends on his schedule, I think he's playing the Euro tour this week

In the same way that Rory was the most promising Irish golfer or Tiger the most promising U.S. golfer.

It would not surprise me if Hovland won a major in the next two years. In any case, he is probably the most promising new PGATour member, full stop.

I really like Hovland.  IIRC, it’s his Sundays that really separates him from the other rookies, at least for me.  He always seems to shoot well on Sunday.

With a 69 on Thursday, Hovland now has the record alone and he can increase it further until his next round in the 70's.

      My Swing (Ty_Webb)

      Yeah - I'll keep an eye on that - I've been across the line for about forever, so I assume that I want to overexaggerate the laid off bit to get it closer to square when I take a real swipe at the ball.

      Those are better. Watch where the shaft points at the top, too. Bit over-rolled there (laid off).

      My Swing (GolfLug)

      By GolfLug · Posted

      First swings at after a 2.5 month forced hiatus. No surgery in the forecast at the moment! Doc said okay to start easing in gently over a few weeks. The effort is barely 30% here but felt solid.  I think my swing changed a few years ago after my right ankle injury (weight shift profile). I wonder if this may bring about another change. I certainly won't pivot on to the knee (left) aggressively any time soon, if ever. Could even be a good thing..heh.

      I mean, I just assume he mistyped something. 🙂 Promos were on X/Twitter and today I put the promo on IG. The full video is landscape (not good for Instagram) and too big for X (file size), so it's always been on YouTube.
