Viktor Hovland has secured his place in Team Europe for the Ryder Cup, adding to their strong start in the biannual match held on their home soil. Hovland showcased his skills during a practice round at the Marco Simone Golf & Country Club in Rome, hitting a remarkable hole-in-one on the par 4 fifth hole. The Norwegian pro's incredible shot was met with celebration from his teammates and enthusiastic cheers from the fans. This rare accomplishment has only been achieved once before in the history of the PGA Tour, back in 2001 by Andrew Magee. In the Ryder Cup, there have been six aces, with Peter Butler, Nick Faldo, Costantino Rocca, Howard Clark, Paul Casey, and Scott Verplank all achieving this feat. The excitement continued as Emily Kristine Pedersen from Team Europe also made a hole-in-one in the Solheim Cup. Team Europe is determined to reclaim the trophy after the United States emerged victorious in 2021 at Whistling Straits. The event was postponed to 2021 due to the pandemic. Historically, Team Europe has been dominant on their home turf, with the U.S. last winning an away Ryder Cup in 1993 at The Belfry in England. The official start of the tournament is on Friday morning, with the first tee time scheduled for 1:35 a.m. ET, making it a late night or early morning for viewers on the East Coast of the U.S.
