COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — How to celebrate winning the Memorial? For Viktor Hovland of Norway, that means going to work as a caddie for 36 holes of U.S. Open qualifying. Hovland turned heads at two courses in Columbus, Ohio, when he lugged the bag for Zach Bauchou. They were roommates and teammates at Oklahoma State.
