August 20, 2018 | Cowboy Golf
Congrats #ViktorHovland! What an incredible year for you—an @NCAA title with @OSUCowboyGolf & now a #USAmateur! All before turning 21. From Norway to North Palm Beach, we are very proud of you! Also proud of @dbling65. Just 18, you went from 312 golfers Monday to finals Sunday! https://t.co/NgTl3jCuwT

It's unlikely that many performances in the history of the U.S. Amateur have been as dominating as the one of Viktor Hovland's. https://t.co/Z07obzulhJ

Viktor Hovland sure didn't look like a guy who won for the first time — ever — in the spring. My story on the latest US Amateur champ: https://t.co/aNnGDlfTxK pic.twitter.com/zhVbNWqJxD

If I'm a member of @OSUCowboyGolf, I'm definitely thinking about how I can make sure coach Alan Bratton carries the bag for me if I get into the #USAmateur. How does that work -- arm wrestling, long drive contest...?

Viktor Hovland of @OSUCowboyGolf takes a 4-up lead into halftime of the US Amateur final without playing anywhere near his best. Uh-oh.
