Viktor Hovland returned to the winner’s circle, outlasting Justin Thomas and the Copperhead Course en route to a one-shot victory at the Valspar Championship.

Hovland birdied the 16th and 17th - part of the closing 'Snake Pit' - to regain the lead, and closed out the tournament despite a bogey on his final hole.
