Viktor Hovland needed a par to rewrite the history books on the European Tour.
Hovland, a native of Oslo, Norway, birdied the 18th hole at the BMW International Open to secure a two-stroke win. With the win, he became the first Norwegian to win on the European Tour.
This isn’t the first time Hovland has made history for his country. In 2018, he became the first Norwegian to win the U.S. Amatuer. In 2019, he became the first Norwegian to play in the Masters.
In 2020, he became the first Norwegian to win on the PGA Tour with a win at the Puerto Rico Open.
