Hovland beats McCarthy in playoff at Muirfield Village
The seventh-ranked player in the world, Hovland has been a model of consistency with 24 straight cuts made worldwide – and has been knocking on the door at some of the biggest tournaments, including top-10 finishes at the last three majors. He chased Brooks Koepka almost to the finish at the PGA Championship, settling for a T-2, his best result in a major and recorded a T-3 earlier this season at the Players Championship. It didn’t take long for Hovland, the winner of the 2018 U.S.
“Because I’m a good iron player it should be closer to 15 percent of the time if not less than that,” Hovland said. “I was putting too much pressure on my short game by being too aggressive.” Hovland shot a third-round 68 and started the day one shot behind Rory McIlroy, Si Woo Kim and David Lipsky but he drained a 28-foot birdie putt at 17, the only birdie at the hole during the final round, to cut his deficit to one. McCarthy, whose putter had been brilliant all day, drove into trouble left at the last and missed a par putt for his first Tour title.tee for the first playoff hole, McCarthy overcompensated and drove right and couldn’t reach the green.
Entering the final round, 22 players were within three strokes of the lead. For the second week in a row, Scheffler finished a stroke out of a playoff despite a marvelous ball-striking week and a closing 67.
