Viktor Hovland recalls most stressful golf shot of his career

Viktor Hovland cited his crucial putt on the penultimate hole during the second day of the 2025 Ryder Cup as his most stressful shot ever. In that match, he faced Scottie Scheffler and Russell Henley, holding a narrow lead when he hit a poor shot on the 17th, leaving his partner with a challenging follow-up. Hovland made the subsequent putt, securing a vital point for Europe. Despite suffering an injury that sidelined him for the rest of the event, he had previously demonstrated strong performances, including a playoff win over Scheffler at the Travelers Championship in June. Hovland’s form has been under scrutiny, but encouraging signs have emerged as he approaches the next season.
