2019 U.S. Open: Viktor Hovland Sets Amateur Scoring Record

Viktor Hovland, who won the 2018 U.S. Amateur Championship at Pebble Beach (Calif.) Golf Links, once again made history at Pebble Beach, breaking Jack Nicklaus' scoring record for an amateur in the U.S. Open. A 4-under-par 67 in the final round of the 2019 U.S. Open put Hovland at 280 over 72 holes, breaking Nicklaus' 1960 mark by two strokes.

As a Swede I cheered more for Hovland than my swedes and I do love my swedes.

So this dude goes from +1 to -3 and you guys just neglect to show how he got there? Disappointed

[cdh]

too bad that as an amateur he didn't get the approx. 226k that he should have gotten at the position he ended up in (T-12)..
I sure hope his future career will more than make up for that :)

[diederikwolsak]

see, Trump is right, we need more people from Norway ...

[WaM]

So where are the Speedo photos of Viktor? lol

[mooneulogy]

Weird but obviously efficient swing . Always think he's gonna pull the shit out of the ball

[gbeachy]

Better than Nicklaus in raw numbers but did not contend. Jack nearly won in 1960.
