He left Scottie Scheffler and Matt Fitzpatrick far behind him
Viktor Hovland kept his excellent hitting form until the very end on the back nine at Olympia Fields to win BMW Championship.
Hovland kept the best for last and delivered the best round of his career at just the right time on Sunday, basically turning a two-man race into a one-man show by breaking the course record with a 9-under 61 to leave Scottie Scheffler and Matt Fitzpatrick no chance to claim the trophy.
