CROMWELL, Conn. – Viktor Hovland started his professional career with a 3-under 67 Thursday at TPC River Highlands.

The 2018 U.S. Amateur champ, Oklahoma State standout and low amateur at both the Masters and U.S. Open made five birdies against two early bogeys.

This wasn’t Hovland’s first PGA Tour event, but it was his first start playing for money, which he’s doing his best not to think about.
