On Saturday evening, England will face Norway in the quarterfinals of the World Cup. It's a match with huge implications for both the mighty (England) and the minnows (Norway), and Viktor Hovland is backing his beloved "Landslaget" with a big claim.
"I hope they lose and come crying out on Sunday morning" Hovland told reporters at the Genesis Scottish Open this week, "First tee we're doing a row if we beat England!"
Hovland, who was recently seen "rowing" with Norwegian fans following his victory at the Travelers Championship, enjoyed the opportunity to rile up English competitors like Matthew Fitzpatrick, Tommy Fleetwood and Tyrrell Hatton. Though outnumbered at The Rennaissance Club, the Norwegian isn't entirely alone, because when it comes to the World Cup, no one—and we mean NO ONE—wants to see England lose more than the Scots.
