Viktor Hovland fired a 5-under 65 to grab the lead at the Tour Championship. He made six consecutive putts from 7 feet or longer, the kind of hot putter that wins tournaments down the stretch. Hovland sits one shot clear of the field heading into the final rounds.
The Norwegian has been playing sharp golf all season, and this week he's putting like he's possessed. Six straight makes from that distance is the kind of streak that separates winners from the rest of the pack. He's built the lead he needs, but the Tour Championship field is loaded with the best players in the world. One shot is nothing at this event. Hovland will need to keep that putter hot if he wants to hold off the challengers behind him.
