PGA TOUR | Valspar Championship

Viktor Hovland went flag-hunting with his Pro V1 golf ball Sunday to capture his seventh PGA TOUR victory, making three birdies over his final five holes – including the first two holes (16 and 17) of Innisbrook’s infamous “Snake Pit” – to secure the one-shot win.

• On one of the PGA TOUR’s toughest closing holes – the par-4 16th – Hovland stuck his 185-yard approach to 5 feet, 9 inches.
• He followed with another clutch swing on the 222-yard par-3 17th, his Pro V1 finishing just under 12 feet from the cup to set up back-to-back birdies.
• Over the weekend at Innisbrook, Hovland’s average proximity to the hole was 25 feet, 8 inches, while gaining over four (+4.379) shots on the field on approach.
• For the week, he gained over six shots tee to green (+6.268/11th).
• Hovland was among the 75 percent of the field who teed up a Titleist golf ball in Tampa, including five of the top-7 finishers – including Justin Thomas (Pro V1x/2nd) and Bud Cauley (Pro V1/4th), who matched Sunday's best rounds with 66’s.

HOVLAND ON HIS PRO V1 GOLF BALL

• “It’s not a fluke that Titleist is the #1 ball. It’s been #1 for so long, I don’t think that’s a coincidence. Knowing that I have the best product when I go out there and play, that gives me confidence. I don’t have to wonder or think that I’m playing a ball that’s sub-optimal, or I’m giving shots away before I’ve even started the round. So I think that’s a nice thing to have with you.”
• “I like the Pro V1 because the ball flight tends to be a little bit more penetrating. It doesn't spin as much as the Pro V1x. What it does for me into the wind particularly, I can still launch it fairly high, but it's not overspinning. It's actually flying through the wind pretty penetrating, so on really firm greens, I can launch it up in the air and still not lose all my distance into the wind.”
• “The spin is very important. If I’m hitting a full 9 iron, I want the 9 iron to spin around 8,800 to 9,000 rpms. You need to hit a good shot, but if the spin’s not right, it’s not going to go the distance you need it to. I’ve always played the ball and love it, so, there’s no reason to change.”
• “[Pro V1] gives me a lot of consistency around the greens. I like how it feels off the face. I like how I'm able to spin the ball around the greens, but I don't sacrifice anything to the full shots. When I hit a drive on a par five and I'm trying to get after it, I don't have to worry about the spin creeping up too high. I can still hit a high launch with low spin – and then if I miss the green in two, I can still hit a short-sided shot with a lot of spin. 
• “So I think just the versatility is the key with the Pro V1 ball for me, and especially in the wind because we do play in a lot of wind. And I think that's kind of the biggest challenge. If you don't have a good ball in the wind, it really plays a big difference. And so I think just the consistency in the wind, knowing how much it's going to curve in certain wind directions and stuff like that – it plays really well for me.”
