Full leaderboard<\/a><\/p>\n Norway’s Viktor Hovland was roared on by World Cup fans as he won a play-off to beat world number one Scottie Scheffler and claim the Travelers Championship title.<\/b><\/p>\n Norway’s ‘viking row’ made an appearance on the course this weekend with a Norwegian contingent making the trip from Boston<\/a> to TPC River Highlands in Connecticut to cheer on Hovland.<\/p>\n Hovland had a one-shot lead going into the fourth round and was close to clinching victory on the 18th, but his birdie attempt from 25 feet narrowly missed as he carded a one-under 69.<\/p>\n That meant a play-off on Monday and Hovland, 28, only needed one extra hole to take the title.<\/p>\n Scheffler rolled his effort wide after Hovland had made a birdie, with the Norwegian banking \u00a32.72m ($3.6m).<\/p>\n He said: “It’s been stressful, but it’s unbelievable.<\/p>\n “I knew I had to bring out my best to have a chance of beating Scottie, and I couldn’t be happier. I know how good I can get and I keep pushing myself and wanting to get better.<\/p>\n “When I fall short it really annoys me but I did a really good job. I didn’t start well on Thursday and I didn’t let it bother me. I couldn’t be happier.”<\/p>\n
