Hovland Recovers in Scottish Open

Norwegian golfer Viktor Hovland struggled early with putting but managed to finish the first round of the Scottish Open two strokes under par after three birdies. The 28-year-old had a difficult start with an immediate bogey and played eight consecutive holes at par before making his first birdie of the day. forestarrow.help

Kristoffer Reitan, another Norwegian, had an inconsistent round with three birdies and four bogeys, ending one stroke over par.
