For the second consecutive week, Viktor Hovland has provided the early final round highlight with a hole-out in the FedExCup Playoffs.
Last week, it was an ace at the par-3 second at Wilmington Country Club. This week, Hovland found the bottom of the cup from 122 yards out in the middle of the fairway at the par-4 fifth hole at East Lake.

Hole out for Hovland 👏 pic.twitter.com/18WRpAs3Ja
It’s not the first time Hovland has walked to the fifth green at East Lake without his putter. The former Oklahoma State star had a much more adventurous hole-out eagle on the par 4 at last year’s Tour Championship, having to navigate his way over and around some trees for the unlikely eagle.
Among the crowd. Over a tree .. and IN?!

Hovland has made a habit of holing out this season on the PGA Tour.
First came a hole-in-one at the par-3 eighth during the third round of The Players Championship.

Next came the second round of The Open, where Hovland went flag-hunting at the difficult par-4 15th hole at St. Andrews to vault up the leaderboard on Day 2.

It's the first eagle of the week on No. 15.

Then there was the aforementioned ace at last week’s BMW Championship, which resulted in a college scholarship for an aspiring student.

The three-time Tour winner certainly isn’t scared to take dead aim.
