ROCHESTER, New York : Viktor Hovland's outfits have been known to sometimes overshadow his play, and that might have been the case again on Friday at the PGA Championship if the Norwegian, wearing bright orange pants, had not grabbed a share of the halfway lead.
"I haven't seen him all week. I heard a couple of guys in the crowd were yelling 'Go, Rickie,'" said Hovland."I guess, what's the expression? Impersonation is the biggest form of flattery or something." "Birdies are hard to come by out here, but certainly nice to have a good finish," said Hovland."It makes you kind of maybe relax or ease into the next day, I guess, instead of finishing bogey, bogey; you have a little bit of a bitter taste in your mouth. But no, certainly pumped up for the weekend."
"Yeah, I haven't done great in the majors that I've played before. I've had some nice top-15 finishes and stuff like that, but I haven't quite been in contention," said Hovland.
