Hovland Ends California Tournament with 69

Viktor Hovland concluded his California tournament with a 69, but was far from contention after barely making the cut.

Hovland, who barely made the cut after a weak second round on Friday, played for a respectable position throughout the weekend. The Norwegian golfer shot 70 on Saturday and 69 on Sunday, recording four birdies and two bogeys in his final round, which he capped with a birdie on the final hole.

Meanwhile, American Jacob Bridgeman held a clear lead after two consecutive 64s in the first two rounds and was among the players just beginning their final round when Hovland had completed his round.
