PGA Tour: Houston Open

The Houston Open was held in Houston, Texas at the Memorial Park Golf Course. From November 11th-14th of 2021. Our Scandinavian players struggled to make birdies, the pars kept them with high chances of passing the cut after the second round. However, the lack of birdies and sand saves put Henrik Stenson out of the competition after two rounds of (72-76).

On the other hand, his mate Henrik Norlander, currently ranked 139th of the OWGR, made it through the four rounds of the Houston Open. Norlander finished last on the leaderboard with rounds of (71-69-72-78). It was not his best performance at the PGA Tour this season. They will soon have another chance to drop some putts and climb up on the leaderboard next week at the RSM Classic, on Nov. 18th.

LPGA Tour: Pelican Women’s Championship 2021

Nelly Korda wins her 4th LPGA victory of the year after battling a 4-way PlayOff at the Pelican Womens Championship, at the Pelican Golf Club, Belleair. “I never won in front of my parents until earlier this year and I did it twice now, and in a playoff. My dad said I’m going to give him a heart attack, so that was nice before the playoff. I was like, Okay, good.” – Korda

Lydia Ko, Lexi Thompson, and Sei Young Kim are the other three great golfers who attempted for the trophy.

Scandinavia plays all their chances to bring home the gold medal. Sweden, Finland, and Denmark were represented by the best golfers at the moment.

Madelene Sagstrom (SWE) was the best Scandinavian player. Sagstrom finished T33 after four rounds of 6-under par. Clearly, the ladies set the standards very high this weekend. Sagstrom took some of her birdie opportunities to lower her scores. The amount of up & downs was low and therefore, it was a struggle to avoid some bogeys here and there. Her putting was good but the greens were not easy. The Swedish golfer was consistent and now she is ready to come back stronger next weekend.

European Tour: AVIV Dubai Championship 2021

Dubai hosted the AVIV Dubai Championship, at the Fire Course, Jumeirah Golf Estates. Denmark tasted the glory with the victory of Joachim Hansen (DEN), after four solid rounds of golf (63-67-67-68) for a total of 23-under par.

Not too far down, his mate Thorbjørn OLESEN (DEN), and Kalle Samooja (FIN) also made the Top 10, finishing 8th at the end, 4-shots behind the leader. The Scandinavian golfers tend to play better in the European Tour due to a matter of statistics. There are always more Scandinavian participants playing there than in the PGA Tour.

Viktor Hovland holds another PGA title

The Norwegian has done it for the second year in a row. He has taken home the trophy from the PGA World Wide Championship. The Norwegian posted a final round of 67 at El Camaleon Golf Club. He finishes in front of Carlos Ortiz in second place and Justin Thomas in third position. Hovland finished the World Wide Technology Championship at Mayakoba with a total score of 23 under par.

Hovland’s third title on the PGA Tour

“I came with high expectations, but for it to end this way and win by four strokes is already a cool week,” said Hovland after the win and the first title defense on the PGA Tour. “I couldn’t have wished for any other outcome.” The young Norwegian shone especially on Moving Day with a 62 lap (-9) and easily brought the lead to the finish. “I wouldn’t say that the third round I played was my best round ever,” stated the three-time PGA Tour winner, “I just put everything together in four rounds and made very few mistakes.”

His week started off rocky when his driver was broken in half as a result of a product of Danny Lee doing some speed training exercise on the range Wednesday. He had to borrow James Hahn’s, which worked out just fine – he was T2 in Driving Accuracy for the week.

“When something like that happens, you just kind of go, ‘Oh, man, come on, like really, is that (going to) happen?” said Hovland. “I was able to get over that pretty quickly.”

Hovland sets a record

The young golfer has set the record to win back to back on the PGA tour since brooks Koepka at the PGA Championship in 2018-19. The final round on Sunday Hovland was 3-under for his first nine holes, and despite to bogeys on the back nine, he came in with a 4-under 67 to close the door.

“I was coming in with some high expectations, but obviously for it to end like this and win by four shots, it’s been a cool week,” said Hovland. “Couldn’t ask for it to go any different.”

He was not stopped by adverse circumstances, such as a broken driver , and relegated Carlos Ortiz to his home game and the Ryder Cup players Justin Thomas and Scottie Scheffler to places 2, 3 and 4.

English golfers didn’t even make it in the top 5 in this tournament. The first lad in line on the board is Aaron Rai at T15. Danny Willet came disappointingly behind at T27 playing four rounds of 68-68-68-69.

PGA Tour: Bermuda Championship

The PGA Tour is off to Bermuda for the 2021 Bermuda Championship. Hopefully they wont get lost in a y triangles before teeing off. They will play in Southampton, BER at the Port Royal Golf Course. The tournament starts on Thursday, 28th of October and ends on Sunday, 31st of October 2021. The Bermuda Championship is part of the PGA Tour in the season 2022. In 2022 all players competing for a total prize money of 6,500,000. The course for the tournament at Port Royal Golf Course plays at Par 72.

With another strong field of participants, we can look forward to top-class golf this week. Narrowing the focus on the Scandinavian golfers, the participation is lower than usually. Only four players will represent the Scandinavians and they are all Swedish. Lets see how well David Lingmerth, Daniel Chopra, and Richard Johnson represent Scandinavia as a whole. Coming in as an amateur is Ludvig Aberg and will be interesting to see how he plays alongside the pros.
