Viktor Hovland is Back Inside The Ropes for RBC Canadian Open
It was strange not to have Viktor Hovland in the field at Muirfield Village, where he won in 2023. The 28-year-old has been bothered by a nagging neck injury all season, which is presumably why he decided to skip ahead to this week in Canada. He'll be making his first start since missing the cut at Aronimink. Hovland has proven the ability to pop off after weeks of inactivity, but missing a tournament as historical as the Memorial, a tournament he's won before, does show a level of concern that DFS players need to pay attention to. The approach play is plenty good enough for him to get around TPC Toronto, but the inability to hole putts or have consistency around the greens creates a scoring gap that will be difficult to overcome. For a player with such a high price tag, it's wise to wait for form to improve before taking a chance.
