CROMWELL, Conn. (AP) \u2014 Viktor Hovland capped off a gritty rally when he made a 7-foot birdie putt on the first playoff hole Monday morning and won the Travelers Championship when Scottie Scheffler missed a 4-foot birdie putt.<\/p>\n

Scheffler had to make an 8-foot par in near darkness Sunday night to force the playoff.<\/p>\n

They returned for one hole, which did not lack for drama or atmosphere. Both found the middle of the fairway on the par-4 18th. Scheffler hit his approach to 4 feet as some 3,000 fans surrounding the green erupted in cheers.<\/p>\n

Hovland responded, just as he did on the back nine Sunday when he made up a two-shot deficit, hitting his approach to 6 feet. His birdie putt downhill with a sharp left-to-right break barely caught the inside right of the cup.<\/p>\n

Scheffler played his outside the left edge, with a little too much impact and it rolled over the left edge.<\/p>\n

Hovland won for the 10th time worldwide, and eighth on the PGA Tour. His last victory was in the Valspar Championship in March 2025.<\/p>\n

For Scheffler, it was his fourth runner-up finish this year after opening his season with a victory at The American Express in the California desert.<\/p>\n

There was lively banter for the playoff. A group of Norwegian fans, who had been in Boston for the World Cup, wore their soccer jerseys and chanted, \u201cHov-land!\u201d as he approached his golf ball in the fairway. The Americans began the \u201cScot-tie Scheff-ler!\u201d chants to drown them out.<\/p>\n

There was partisan cheering a year ago during a Ryder Cup where U.S. captain Keegan Bradley rallied on the final hole to beat Tommy Fleetwood of England. <\/p>\n
