FARMINGDALE, N.Y. -- Norway's Viktor Hovland had to pull out of his Saturday four-ball match because of a neck injury, but he's hopeful he'll be able to play in Sunday singles at the 45th Ryder Cup at Bethpage Black.

"I didn't want to risk it for the match in case it got worse and I couldn't continue, especially in four-balls when you are hitting every shot," Hovland said."I'm going to get some treatment this afternoon and tonight and hopefully I will be OK for the singles tomorrow."

Hovland, the No. 12-ranked golfer in the world, was scheduled to play in the anchor four-ball (best ball) match with England's Matt Fitzpatrick on Saturday. Shortly before his scheduled tee time, Hovland was replaced by England's Tyrrell Hatton in the match against Sam Burns and Patrick Cantlay .
