Usually, it’s customary to take a day off after competing in any golf tournament, and you could be forgiven in taking the week off if you’re just won $3.6m in capturing the Jack Nicklaus-hosted Memorial.

No, not champion Norwegian Viktor Hovland.

The now four-time PGA Tour champion was spotted bright and early still in the Columbus, Ohio region back at a golf course but acting as a caddy.  Yes, a caddy.

The new World No. 5 ranked Hovland is caddying for college teammate Zach Bauchou as he looks help Bachou to secure a place in joining him in next week’s next US Open at the L A Country Club.

Hovland had already locked up a spot in the US Open, so he’s donned the bag of Backou, his former roommate and a second-team All-America golfer at Oklahoma State, to see if they can team successfully for Backou to earn a place among the leading qualifiers on both The Lakes Golf & Country Club in the morning and 18 afernoon holes at Brookside Golf Club in the afternoon.
