Adam Hadwin pays for sprinkler damage, buys course crew lunch after viral incident at Valspar Championship
Adam Hadwin has made up for his sprinkler incident at Innisbrook Resort and Golf Club. Hadwin, a week after he hilariously destroyed a sprinkler head out of frustration during the Valspar Championship, offered to pay to repair all of the sprinklers at the course. He also sent a video message and bought lunch for the course's maintenance department. How it started ➡️ how it's going In addition to paying for all repairs to @Innisbrook sprinklers, our 2017 champ, @ahadwingolf sent a video message & bought lunch for the entire course maintenance department 🥹⛳️Thank you, Adam & @jessicahadwin! — Valspar Championship (@ValsparChamp) March 28, 2025 Hadwin, during the second round of the Valspar Championship last week, took his frustrations out on a sprinkler head near the 10th green after he made a double bogey. After smashing his club into the sprinkler, however, water turned on and started spraying everywhere. Hadwin quickly froze and looked completely defeated. Adam Hadwin sprinkler smash 😤🏌️♂️ @jessicahadwin — NUCLR GOLF (@NUCLRGOLF) March 22, 2025 That was one of three incidents on the course last week. Patton Kizzire tried to punt his putter after he missed a putt on Thursday before he withdrew from the event due to an injury. Sahith Theegala launched his club down the fairway after flaring a shot out to the right, too, though he still managed to save par after the toss. Viktor Hovland overtook Justin Thomas on Sunday to win the Valspar Championship for his seventh career PGA Tour win. Hadwin, after his second-round 76, missed the cut. Hadwin has won just a single time on Tour, back at the Valspar Championship in 2017. He has one top-10 finish so far this season — a T9 run at the WM Phoenix Open — but he's missed three out of the last four cuts entering this week's Texas Children's Houston Open. He entered this week at No. 79 in the Official World Golf Rankings. While his incident was the funniest of the three that took place in Florida last week, Hadwin has made his amends with the course where he picked up his inaugural win.

Birdie blitz fires Hovland to victory in Valspar champs
Norway's Viktor Hovland has fired birdies on three of his final five holes to shoot a fourth round 67 and win the Valspar Championship. Hovland, who missed the cut in his previous three tournaments, finished at 11-under 273 for a one-stroke victory over Justin Thomas on Sunday at Innisbrook Resort's Copperhead Course in Florida. The 27-year-old now has seven career victories. But this is his first title since the 2023 Tour Championship, which capped a string of three victories in a three-month stretch. He had come to Palm Harbor frustrated with his shot making and thinking he had no chance of winning. "I honestly did not believe I could do it this week," he said. "I hit a lot of disgusting shots, but they happened to go where I looked. "Somehow I was able to hit the good shots I can a lot more often." Hovland had been three strokes off the pace on the back side before he heated up. Win No. 7 for Hovland 🏆Viktor is back in the winner's circle @ValsparChamp. — PGA TOUR (@PGATOUR) March 23, 2025 Thomas had his second consecutive sterling round, but his 66 was marred by bogeys at 16 and 18. Those followed a five-hole stretch with four birdies. "I've had plenty of chances this season, but nothing quite like that," he said. "I felt so good out there, so excited for every shot. "Hell, there's not much I can do. He birdied 16 and 17. I obviously made it a lot easier. It's really hard — but really fun — trying to win golf tournaments." Jacob Bridgeman, who led at the tournament's midway mark, posted 69 and was third at nine under. Bud Cauley (66), Billy Horschel (67) and Japan's Ryo Hisatsune (68) tied for fourth place at eight under. Davis Riley (69) was seventh at seven under. Hovland got things rolling late with a 13-foot birdie putt at 14 before birdies on two of the next three holes. His bogey on the final hole wasn't a problem because Thomas had already finished his round. It marked the second 67 of the tournament for Hovland, who also posted that number in Friday's second round.
