Golf News : Viktor Hovland becomes first Norwegian winner on European Tour

Viktor Hovland held off a final-day charge from Martin Kaymer on Sunday to become the first Norwegian winner on the European Tour in the BMW International Open. Hovland carded a closing 70 at Golfclub Munchen Eichenried in Munich, Germany, to finish 19 under par and two shots ahead of two-time major winner Kaymer, who surged through the field with a superb 64. The victory cements Hovland's place on the European Ryder Cup team for September's contest at Whistling Straits, where Kaymer is set to be a vice-captain after being appointed by Padraig Harrington earlier this week.
