Viktor Hovland is ... confident in his game? He's feeling better, at least, and it's showing at the U.S. Open
Viktor Hovland nails the impressive shot to hole-out for eagle and move up the leaderboard during Round 2 of the U.S. Open at Oakmont Country Club. OAKMONT, Pa. – Even in victory, Viktor Hovland felt uncomfortable. That was in March, at the Valspar Championship, one of the most demanding weeks on the PGA Tour schedule, when Hovland timed up his work-in-progress swing, holed a few clutch putts late and – somehow – walked away with his first victory in 19 months. 'It's still not great,' he said of his swing afterward, and that was while he was seated next to the trophy. Of course, this is the same mercurial player who once said that his chipping 'sucks' – once again, after winning – and has considered withdrawing before major championships and has stumbled down countless internet rabbit holes in the search for marginal improvement. But this time, he was adamant that this was good – just not good enough. 'The recurring issues,' he said that victorious day three months ago, 'are still the same there.' Hovland has been accused of being too hard on himself, even if, to him, he's just being realistic. Intensely self-aware. He reasons that being delusional about his prospects is no way to go through a career; just confront the issues, head-on, instead of simply hoping for the best. Hovland has played sparingly this season – the Valspar is his only Tour start this season that wasn't at a major or signature event – and that's been intentional. He'd rather attempt to fine-tune his swing at home, on the range, than test himself in tournament conditions if he knows he isn't ready. So considering Hovland's harsh self-critiques over the past two years, it's worth listening to him now. He's encouraged. Confident, even. The hard work in private, with swing coach Grant Waite, is now ready for public consumption. 'Still haven't been overly confident in my ball-striking up until recently, but last week we saw some really good progress, and earlier this week I was very happy with some of the shots that I was hitting out there in the practice rounds,' he said, before adding: 'Super excited that I was able to take that out with me in the tournament.' Hovland was speaking Friday after posting a 2-under 68 that positioned him as one of just two players under par among the late-early starters here at the U.S. Open. At 1-under 139, Hovland was two shots off Sam Burns' clubhouse lead. There are still areas for Hovland to clean up. He pointed to a few miscues late in his second round: A short miss on 6, or when he aimed left and still hit a block-slice on 7, or when he three-putted from long range on 8. But overall, he was pleased with how he kept his head after a round that included an eagle, five birdies, three bogeys and a double. 'I've been in a really nice mental state,' he said. 'A couple of times, if it would have happened at another tournament, I could have potentially lost my mind there a little bit. But I felt like I kept things together very well.' Golf Channel Staff, That equanimity can be traced to his ball-striking. It's easier to handle the occasional bogey when he knows he's capable of getting the shot back. When his swing was in disarray, it put even more pressure on the rest of his game to be tidy, if not perfect. Hovland is leading the field in strokes gained: tee to green through two rounds, a credit to his strong driving and pinpoint approach play. He has hit the second-most greens of any player, always a key statistic during a brutish Oakmont Open. 'I'm super happy with where we're going,' he said. 'We're still not quite there, day-in and day-out. I'm still seeing a couple of (bad) drives ... but it's happening less and less frequently.' So, too, is the amount of negative self-talk. Which can only mean one thing: He's nearing a breakthrough.

Viktor Hovland's Elite U.S. Open Ball Striking Pushes Putting Woes Aside
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Viktor Hovland put himself into contention at Oakmont Country Club after an impressive second round at the U.S. Open. He carded a 2-under 68 to sit at 1-under overall and was three shots off the current leaders. Granted, the afternoon wave still has to play, but for now, Hovland is inside the top five. The former Oklahoma State Cowboy started his second round with two birdies in his first three holes. He followed it up with an eagle on the par-4 17th, his eighth hole. Five birdies. One eagle. Viktor Hovland 🇳🇴 is back in a tie for 2nd. — U.S. Open (@usopengolf) June 13, 2025 From there, the Norwegian had to take a few licks on the chin to avoid disaster. He made a bogey on 18, followed it up with a birdie on 1, and then a double bogey on the par-4 2nd. Hovland redeemed himself with back-to-back birdies at 4 and 5, but he would bogey two of his final four holes. Through 36 holes, Hovland is in the top 10 of the four main strokes gained categories. He is No. 7 off the tee at +1.46, No. 10 in approach at +1.86 and No. 5 in short game at +1.92. His one glaring weakness, at least on the stat sheet, is his putting. Hovland sits No. 116 in strokes gained putting at -0.76. It did seem like he fixed many of his issues on the green in Round 2. If you look at the stats from Friday, Hovland picked up +1.54 on the greens, but more impressively, he picked up +3.66 in strokes gained short game. He kept it together to avoid too many big numbers and a collapse. A big reason for that is his ball striking. Hovland would not be in contention right now without some of those shots. The seven-time PGA Tour winner continues to tinker with his swing, but at Oakmont, so far, he seems to have found some momentum. "Still haven't been overly confident in my ball-striking up until recently. Last week we saw some really good progress, and earlier this week I was very happy with some of the shots I was hitting in the practice rounds," Hovland said. "Super excited that I was able to take that out with me in the tournament." The 27-year-old hit 14-of-18 greens in regulation on Friday after only hitting six fairways. He grinded out a strong second-round score, but there were some instances where the 2023 FedEx Cup champ did not have things go his way.

OAKMONT, PENNSYLVANIA - JUNE 13: Viktor Hovland of Norway reacts on the 12th hole during the second round of the 125th U.S. OPEN at Oakmont Country Club on June 13, 2025 in Oakmont, Pennsylvania. Photo byOne of those moments was at the par-4 2nd. "That was frustrating," he noted. "Didn't want to miss it left off the tee, so I oversliced it a foot in the rough." "I was expecting a lie that I could chase up the green there, but couldn't even cover the bunker, and then it's up against the lip. Did a good job to get it out in the fairway, and then hit my wedge shot too short and made a nice two-putt for a double bogey." That moment made him remember he was playing in a major championship. "I told Shay [Knight], 'Yeah, I just got U.S. Opened right there.' There's not much you can do about it," Hovland said honestly. "At least I was playing well until that point, so you've just got to go back to what you were doing before." The 2025 Valspar champion was able to compartmentalize and keep focus, which isn't always the case for him. "For some reason, I've just been in a nice mental state this week," he noted. "Both my rounds have been very up and down. I feel like if it had happened at another tournament, for example, I could have potentially lost my mind there a little bit. I didn't come close. I was pretty happy with that. Even after the double on 2. Yeah, I kept it together really nicely." Hovland sits in a good spot at 1-under overall, especially since there are just five players under par. If he continues to shoot consistent scores, the 27-year-old could be looking at his first major championship. More Golf: PGA Tour Poaches Top NFL Executive as Tour's New CEO

J Day back in business with fine US Open fightback
Jason Day has battled back into the picture at the US Open with a fine second round while American Sam Burns shot the lowest score of the week to leap into contention at fearsome Oakmont. Former PGA champ Day was way off the pace after his opening round of 76 but demonstrated his enduring class with a battling three-under 67 on Friday to get back to three over for the tournament - hovering around the top-20 and well inside a cut mark projected to be at seven over. Day's round was the second best among the early day-two starters but he was still eclipsed by Burns, who shot a five-under 65, which featured six birdies, one bogey and a key par save at his final hole - the ninth - to record the best round of the tournament. Spoiler: he made the 🐥 Day is 3 under today and well inside the cut line. — U.S. Open (@usopengolf) June 13, 2025 It left him heading to the clubhouse on three under, just one off the overnight lead held by fellow American who was among the later starters after his opening, bogey-free round of 66 on Thursday. Day's round, which began at the 10th hole, was ignited by a terrific eagle at his third hole - the gigantic par-five 12th that measures 647 yards. He struck his approach from 323 yards to 20 foot from the hole and sank the eagle putt. Two birdies quickly followed in the next five holes. His biggest disappointment as he looked set to finish with a 66 after two more birdies on the homeward nine was his wayward drive at the ninth that led to an anti-climactic final bogey. WHAT A ROUND! 🔥Sam Burns posts a spectacular Friday 65, the best we've seen this week. — U.S. Open (@usopengolf) June 13, 2025 Burns, who shot a final-round 62 Sunday at the Canadian Open before losing in a play-off, also started his second round on the back nine and birdied 11, 13, 17 and 18. He responded to his lone bogey at the first hole by putting his approach at the next hole to about six feet. World No.1 Scottie Scheffler had five bogeys and four birdies in his 71, to be left at four over, but fellow luminaries Dustin Johnson (10 over) and Justin Thomas (12 over) will both miss the weekend. Australian Marc Leishman, who had begun promisingly with a 71, suffered in his second round, shooting a 75, including a double-bogey six at the ninth hole, to sit at six over. Five-time major winner Brooks Koepka, one of 14 LIV Golf players in the field, started his day two shots off the pace but dropped back after a 74 that featured eight bogeys. 🚨 ACE ALERT 🚨Victor Perez 🇫🇷 with a great shot and an even better celebration! — U.S. Open (@usopengolf) June 13, 2025 A day after Patrick Reed recorded the fourth albatross in US Open annals, Frenchman Victor Perez made a hole-in-one at the par-three sixth, the second ever ace during a US Open at Oakmont. But the demanding course was clearly getting to some of the players, with former champion Jon Rahm another left grumbling as he tumbled down the leaderboard after a 75 to sit on four over. "Honestly, I'm too annoyed and too mad right now to think about any perspective," the Spaniard said. "Very few rounds of golf I played in my life where I think I hit good putts and they didn't sniff the hole, so it's frustrating." With agencies
