Past Player Quotes – Southern Hills Country Club

Viktor Hovland: I remember there being a lot more trees the first time I came here. They have added a bunch of length and they have made it a little bit more open, but at the same time you still have to drive it really well out here. So from that aspect, I feel like it fits me really well. There’s no real faking it. But you have to have a lot of good short game shots around greens because it’s all fairway around the green. It’s not just like rough if you miss the greens. So I think that kind of allows you to use some creativity around the greens. If you hit two good shots on the tough par 4, you can make a birdie. But at the same time, you don’t have to be very far off to make bogeys, and I think the whole course is kind of like that. So certain situations you can be pretty aggressive and go for that birdie, and maybe some other holes you might just try to play to the middle of green and give yourself a stress-free par.
