Viktor Hovland Wins Valspar Championship, Justin Thomas Reflects

Viktor Hovland secured his first victory of the 2025 PGA Tour season at the Valspar Championship, overcoming Justin Thomas's strong performance, which faltered in the final holes. Thomas had a commanding lead at one point but suffered two late bogeys, finishing just one stroke behind Hovland. Despite the disappointment, Thomas expressed pride in his overall play and is looking forward to the upcoming Masters, where he hopes to improve on his recent performance. Xander Schauffele, who tied for 12th, voiced his frustrations after the tournament, opting to practice on the driving range to release pent-up energy. The golfing community is now buzzing with anticipation for the Masters, scheduled for April 13, where Thomas aims to end his nearly three-year winless streak. With Thomas ranked No. 10 in the PGA Tour Rankings, expectations are high as he prepares for the prestigious event.
