In rare Monday playoff, Viktor Hovland beats Scottie Scheffler for Travelers Championship

Viktor Hovland defeated World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler in a rare Monday morning one-hole playoff to win the Travelers Championship at TPC River Highlands in Cromwell, Connecticut. Hovland clinched victory by draining a 7-foot birdie putt on the 18th hole, while Scheffler missed a 2-foot putt that would have extended the playoff. The win marks a resurgence for the 28-year-old Norwegian, who had previously fallen outside the world's top 30, and extended Scheffler's winless streak to 13 consecutive starts despite four runner-up finishes.
