Viktor Hovland vs Sahith Theegala Prediction: Hovland should get things right

Day 2 of the Wells Fargo Championship tournament will see Viktor Hovland play Sahith Theegala at Quail Hollow Club in a 72-hole matchup. The odds favor Hovland here, while Theegala is the underdog. I will look into these golfers and make a prediction. 

Viktor Hovland has played on the PGA Tour and European Tour since he turned professional in 2019. However, his amateur years saw him win the 2018 U.S. Amateur. However, following an exceptional amateur career, Viktor Hovland was named the World Amateur Golf Ranking in 2019. In 2020, Hovland won the PGA Tour Puerto Rico Open, being the first Norwegian to reach this feat. However, Viktor Hovland also won the 2021 BMW International Open on the European Tour. In his golf career, Viktor Hovland has won 10 professional titles.

Indian-born American golfer Sahith Theegala plays on the PGA tour. In his amateur years, Sahith Theegala was named one of the NCAA All-Americans. In 2020, Sahith Theegala became a professional, with the Outlaw Tour's Lone Tree Classic being his first tournament. However, up to this moment, Sahith Theegala has two professional titles, the QBE Shootout in 2022 and one in the PGA Tour, the Fortinet Championship in 2023.

There is a high difference in terms of the quality of both golfers. Viktor Hovland has the upper hand here, and he does come in as the favorite. While Sahith Theegala will hope he can get things go his way, Hovland is just too good for him and should be able to win easily.
