Hovland’s form was a giant cloud of mystery heading into the PGA Championship. However, a solo third-place finish at Valhalla has him back in the conversation just in time for the U.S Open.

Hovland has been transparent about his relentless pursuit of perfection in his game, particularly in his full swing. The only problem is he’s still in the middle of it, and good results are difficult to come by.

Before Valhalla, it was uncertain if Hovland would work through the swing changes before the end of the 2024 season. He missed the cut at the Masters and had only finished in the top 20 once this season on tour.

Hovland recently disclosed he has reconnected with his swing coach Joe Mayo, who notably revamped Hovland’s short game in 2023. They split during the offseason but the coach rejoined Hovland’s team in May.

The two-time major champion is entering Pinehurst with some revived momentum. Despite faltering at the finish line at Augusta (T3) and the PGA Championship (T4), Morikawa seems pleased with his form heading into the U.S. Open.

Since winning the 2021 Open Championship, Morikawa has captured just one additional title on tour (the 2023 Zozo Championship) with swing issues the central culprit for his inconsistency.

But Morikawa has been living at the top of the leaderboard since Augusta, posting top-10 finishes in three of his five starts.

Morikawa recently reconnected with his lifelong swing and mental coach, Rick Sessinghaus, a familiar face who could help the Southern Californian continue his upward trend.

Both Scottie Scheffler and Xander Schauffele are among the favorites to add a second major to their 2024 records, but who will have the best chance of standing in their way?

Let’s take you through a few now, starting with someone else who’s had a rocky time in recent weeks.

Rory McIlroy had hoped his long-awaited fifth major would come at the scene of his fourth, 10 years ago. Sadly, Valhalla didn’t play ball and McIlroy would have been forgiven for being distracted too.

On the eve of that major, it was announced that McIlroy had filed for divorce from his wife, Erica Stoll. Well, ahead of the U.S. Open the pair have reconciled their issues and earlier this week, the divorce filing was withdrawn.

We will see if McIlroy can reconcile his major record too, this weekend.

One name is conspicuous by his absence from those events at Valhalla — Scottie Scheffler.

The Masters champion was favorite to win the PGA too, despite some uncertainty over his form given he had just returned following the birth of his first child.

Come the Friday morning however, Scheffler was arrested and taken to jail following an incident involving his car and a police officer on the roads into the course.

Scheffler somehow made his tee time and shot a 66, but he paid for that on Saturday with an off-color 2-over 73. He rallied to eventually finish tied-eighth (-13).

All charges against Scheffler were subsequently dropped last month, since when Scheffler has won the Memorial Tournament to take him over a record $24 million in earnings for 2024 the year. He is also the first player since Tom Watson (1980) to win five times on the PGA Tour before the U.S. Open.

So in short, it’s hard to look beyond Scheffler making up for lost time at Valhalla, now we’re checking in around Pinehurst.Valhalla was beaten up as a course over four days of the 2024 PGA Championship in May.

It started on day one, with Xander Schauffele shooting a record-equaling major low of 62; breaking the course record by a stroke in the process.

Low scores became expected but so too did Schauffele blowing another chance at bagging his first major. But not this time. The 30-year-old kept the lead and kept things together. He birdied the 18th on his final round to finish 21-under and win by a stroke from Bryson DeChambeau, who was watching from the range hoping for a playoff.

Viktor Hovland charged to third (-18) as Collin Morikawa’s second major challenge of the year stalled on the final round (T4 -15). Shane Lowry and Justin Rose both caught the eye to finish tied-sixth on 14-under.

Following this major at Pinehurst, the Open Championship will take place at Troon on the west coast of Scotland in little more than a month’s time.Scottie Scheffler, the world No. 1 was awaiting the birth of his first child while at Augusta National in April. He was also the big favorite to repeat his 2022 Masters success.

In the end, he did that with relative ease. Scheffler had at least a share of the lead from the Friday onwards and bar a rare double-bogey at the 11th on Sunday, never looked like losing his grip at the top.

He finished 11-under, four strokes ahead of an impressive Ludvig Aberg with Tommy Fleetwood, Max Homa and Collin Morikawa tied-third (-4)Pinehurst No. 2 has hosted four of golf’s majors in the past, as well as the 1951 Ryder Cup — which was won by the United States — and the 2014 U.S. Women’s Open.

The PGA Championship came in 1936, won by Denny Shute, while this year is the fourth time the U.S. Open has been in town.

Australia’s Michael Campbell won in 2005, while Martin Kaymer of Germany was the last winner in 2014.

But arguably the most iconic victory came in 1999, when Payne Stewart putted home on the 18th to win his second Open and third major. He died later that year in an airplane accident, at the age of 42.

A statue of his celebration now lives beside the 18th green.Here’s who has triumphed and where over the last seven years of the U.S. Open — we’ve gone back seven years to highlight Brooks Koepka’s achievement of winning this major in consecutive years.

You have to go back to Curtis Strange (1988-1999) for the previous time that happened. Here’s the list:

2023 (Los Angeles CC) — Wyndham CLARK (by 1 stroke)

2022 (The Country Club) — Matt FITZPATRICK (1)

2021 (Torrey Pines) — Jon RAHM (1)

2020 (Winged Foot) — Bryson DECHAMBEAU (6)

2019 (Pebble Beach) — Gary WOODLAND (3)

2018 (Shinnecock Hills) — Brooks KOEPKA (1)

2017 (Erin Hills): — Brooks KOEPKA (4)

Only one of these players won’t be in action at Pinehurst — and that is Jon Rahm, who withdrew on Wednesday due to a foot infection.After the traditional, major season-opening Masters at Augusta National usually held in April, and then the PGA Championship that takes place in May, comes the U.S. Open Championship.

It is the third leg of the Grand Slam and the final major held in the United States each year. Staged by the USGA, it has been hosted by more than 52 different courses since its first 72-hole format in 1898.

The U.S. Open is often seen as the trickiest of the four majors, with the Open Championship in the UK finishing the quartet.

Pinehurst in 2024 looks set to live up to that reputation.
