With the DP World India Championship underway, Viktor Hovland has come to India for the first time in his life. Amidst competing in the tournament, the golfer found some time for a quick tour outside the golf course.
Today, Hovland was travelling through the streets of New Delhi along with his caddie, Shay Knight. The duo availed a rickshaw to roam around the area, and soon, their ride fell into the busy traffic of the Indian metro city. Viktor Hovland's driver did his best to occasionally slow down and swerve through the afternoon crowd.
However, a moment came when the rickshaw had a near miss with one of the pedestrians, who was crossing the road. Looking at all the traffic and crowd around, Viktor Hovland could not help but let out a profanity-filled reaction at it.
