We are back! Thanks for your patience while we sorted out some technical difficulties last week.

This time around, we’ve got:
✅ A first pro win in a while
✅ A first collegiate win ever
✅ A junior phenom who refuses to lose

We hope you enjoy this one before we try out some new formats in the coming weeks.

Let’s dive in…

The Rundown

Is Viktor Hovland Officially BACK?

(via Golf.com)

After a bizarre start to the season - featuring a random broken toe and a string of missed cuts - Viktor Hovland bounced back in a big way on Sunday, outdueling Justin Thomas to win the Valspar Championship.

Hovland had everything working, battling through:
✅ A swing that hasn’t been fully cooperating
✅ The wrong side of a brutal weather draw
✅ A tough track at Innisbrook

So, with major season fast approaching… is Vik rounding into form just in time?

We’re about to find out. 👀

Miles Russell Just Keeps Winning at the Junior Invitational

🚨 Stop us if you’ve heard this before - but Miles Russell won again.

The 16-year-old sensation from Jacksonville Beach, Florida, captured the Junior Invitational at Sage Valley this past Saturday, marking his fourth straight win against junior competition.

Russell started the final round well behind Joshua Bai, but battled both Bai and Jackson Byrd down the stretch to pull off yet another clutch victory.

His dominance is undeniable:
🔥 Hasn’t finished outside the top 10 in a non-pro event since last summer
🔥 Keeps piling up wins against elite junior fields
🔥 Now has a real shot at becoming the youngest Walker Cup player ever at Cypress Point

Our bet? He makes history.

Luke Poulter Claims First Collegiate Victory

(via Golfweek)

After missing seven months due to a back injury, Florida sophomore Luke Poulter is starting to find his groove.

The son of Ian Poulter, Luke broke through this past Sunday, winning the Schenkel Invitational by one shot over teammate Ian Gilligan.

🏆 Final scorecard: 67-69-72 (-8) at Forest Heights CC in Georgia.

With Poulter hitting his stride and Joshua Bai leading the charge at the Junior Invitational, the Gators’ pipeline looks stronger than ever.

Florida’s golf program is going to be a force. 🚀

Player Spotlight

Charlie Reiter Monday Qualifies for Houston Open

After a rocky start to 2024, Charlie Reiter took down a 4-for-1 playoff to Monday qualify for this week’s Texas Children’s Houston Open.

Why should you keep an eye on him?

The track favors his game - wide open, soft conditions, and an extra-long setup. Reiter should outrun even this field in carry distance and could have a serious edge.

With one big week, everything could change for Reiter.

Monday Q’s. Gotta love ‘em.
