Hovland wins Travelers Championship in play-off as Scheffler botches short putt

Viktor Hovland beat Scottie Scheffler in a Monday play-off at the Travelers Championship as the world No 1 fluffed a short birdie putt on the first extra hole.

Scheffler had tied with Hovland on 21 under par across the regulation 72 holes at TPC River Highlands in Connecticut after a nine-foot par save at the 18th on Sunday followed the Norwegian missing a 25-foot birdie putt for the victory.
