Viktor Hovland close to back to back triumph
[ad_1]
In Playa del Carmen, Mexico, Viktor Hovland puts on a show and takes the lead in the World Wide Technology Championship at Mayakoba. After the “moving day” the Norwegian, reigning champion, with a partial closed in 62 (-9) out of a total of 194 (67 65 62, -19), leads the leaderboard with two strokes ahead of the American Talor Gooch , second with 196 (-17).
And now the 24-year-old from Oslo, with two successes on the PGA Tour (both in 2020) and one on the European Tour, wants to become the first player in the history of the competition to win the tournament consecutively. Rising from third position Hovland, in his 57th appearance on the top American circuit, recorded a bogey free test with nine birdies.

In Mexico, a great opportunity for Hovland, world number 17, who in the last round will have to deal not only with Gooch but also with Justin Thomas. Great favorite on the eve, the American is 3 / o with 197 (-16) and precedes the Mexican Carlos Ortiz, 4 / o with 199 (-14).
While in 5th position with 200 (-13) are the Spaniard Sergio Garcia and the American John Michael Spaun. Matthew Wolff slipped from 1st to 17th position, with 203 (-10). On the course of the El Camaleon Golf Club (par 71) – where the blues Guido Migliozzi and Francesco Molinari came out at the cut – everything is ready for the final sprint.
In an event that is giving away a prize pool of 7,200,000 dollars. A new career as a mental coach, alongside some of the best golfers in the world to drag them to success and support them in times of difficulty. This is what Michael Phelps, the most decorated athlete in the history of the Olympics, seems to have undertaken (also in the name of friendship).
A great golf enthusiast, many now define him as the “secret weapon” of green totems such as Jon Rahm, number one in the world ranking, and Jordan Spieth, the Texan who, after a long period of crisis, is back in 2021 to amaze.
