Viktor Hovland recovered from an initial bogey to shoot two strokes under par in the opening round of the Scottish Open. The 28-year-old struggled with his putting early, going eight consecutive holes at par before recording his first birdie.

Kristoffer Reitan sits one stroke over par after an inconsistent round with three birdies and four bogeys. Several players currently share the lead, three strokes ahead of Hovland. This marks Hovland's first tournament since his PGA Tour victory in late June, where he defeated world number one Scottie Scheffler in a playoff. truewildgame.com
