Viktor Hovland rocked the first day of Masters 2023

On Thursday morning at the 2023 Masters, Viktor Hovland took an early two-shot lead by playing exceptionally well at Augusta National. The Norwegian golfer completed the first nine holes with a 5-under 31 score, hitting six out of seven fairways and requiring only 13 putts. He finished his front nine by achieving three birdies in his final four holes, including sinking a 10-foot putt for birdie on both the par-3 6th and the par-5 8th. On the 9th hole, Hovland’s approach landed just three feet away from the hole, and he successfully made the putt to earn another birdie.
