Hovland leads Tour Championship by one shot entering final round

Viktor Hovland holds a one-shot lead heading into the final round of the Tour Championship at East Lake Golf Club in Atlanta, positioning himself to claim his second FedEx Cup title. The Norwegian fired a 5-under-par 65 on Saturday, August 29, 2026, to reach 15-under 195 for the tournament. He will take a slim advantage into Sunday's conclusion, with the winner set to receive a $10 million prize and a five-year PGA Tour exemption. Hovland's third round featured a strong finish, with six consecutive putts of seven feet or longer made on the final six holes. Four of those were for birdie, including crucial eight-footers at the 17th and 18th, while two saved par.
