#viktor-hovland

The neck injury that kept Viktor Hovland out of the fourballs yesterday afternoon hasn't cleared up. The Norwegian can't play today either, so the Envelope Rule comes into effect. Yesterday, when Keegan Bradley and Luke Donald lodged their selections for the Singles, they also had to provide a sealed envelope containing the name of a player who would have to withdraw if a player from the other side is ruled out through illness, injury or other emergency reason.

It's making the game a bit more stressful than it should be, Hovland said. It's just frustrating as a golfer when this is my game. I step up and I have an intention of wanting to start the ball a certain height and start it left of the target and curve it, and then the ball starts high and right, complete opposite of what I'm trying to do. That's just frustrating. But I know how to play. So I'm doing the best I can.
