Viktor Hovland struggles with new European Tour rule

In the opening round, Viktor Hovland said that his group was already on the clock on the 13th hole (their fourth of the day) when he took a little extra time to readjust his line on the green.

Walking to the next tee, Hovland was informed by an official that he required 59 seconds to hit his putt – longer than the mandated 40 seconds. That was his first bad time; another and he’d be docked a stroke.

“That kind of flustered me a little bit,” Hovland told reporters Wednesday at the Dubai Desert Classic. “The rest of the round, I was only focusing on trying to play fast, instead of trying to perform. It was a little bit of a learning experience for me just to trust my routines.”

Hovland said he’s not normally a slow player and that he’s “never felt stressed in that way before.” Golf Channel
