Hovland ‘shocked’ by revamped East Lake layout

Viktor Hovland expressed shock at the recently revamped layout of the East Lake Golf Club. The course, which hosts the Tour Championship, has undergone significant changes, including the addition of several new bunkers and water hazards.

Hovland, who won the FedEx Cup last year, said the changes will make the course more challenging and exciting.
