(AP) — Viktor Hovland feels he is headed in the right direction, and Saturday at the Travelers Championship was a big test. He played alongside Scottie Scheffler on a course that features plenty of water and shots that can cause some stress. A two-shot swing on the 18th hole — Hovland made a 6-foot birdie, Scheffler three-putted from 25 feet on the fringe for bogey — gave the Norwegian star a 6-under 64 and a one-shot lead over the world’s No. 1 player. “Just had a great time,” Hovland said. “It’s been a while since I’ve been in this position. To go head-to-head against the best player in the world and pull off some great shots, it was just a lot of fun.” The pleasant surprise was the support he had in the crowd.

Hovland gave them plenty of opportunity to do the “row” that has become so popular in the stadium and subway stations and wherever they gather. Hovland knows it well. Oddly enough, it was the…
