Viktor Hovland pulls out of Ryder Cup singles through injury

Viktor Hovland has been forced to pull out of Sunday’s singles session at the Ryder Cup through injury.

The Norwegian aggravated a neck problem during Saturday’s morning foursomes and withdrew from the afternoon fourballs to undergo treatment.

His absence means his singles match against Harris English will be halved, making the overall score 12-5 in Europe’s favour before the final session begins.

Europe will now need only two-and-a-half points from the remaining 11 singles matches to secure outright victory over the United States.
