Norwegian golfer Viktor Hovland is ready to rub salt into the wounds if his nation beat England at the World Cup.The Ryder Cup star is competing in the Scottish Open on a weekend which also sees Norway take on the Three Lions in a World Cup quarter-final.Hovland will have one eye on the football this weekendGettyHovland has already given his country more than one reason to celebrate in recent weeks by taking down Scottie Scheffler at the Travelers Championship. The 28-year-old benefited from a heavy Norwegian presence at the event in New England, which coincided with the group stage of the World Cup.He was seen performing the now-famous ‘Viking Row’ with supporters when his victory was confirmed. Alongside superstar striker Erling Haaland, the Norwegian fans have made themselves a popular feature of the World Cup in North America.Given the rivalry between Scotland and England, Hovland might find himself surrounded by Norway supporters once again at the Renaissance Club. If Haaland and co. do pull off another spectacular victory, Hovland will be the first to let everyone know on Sunday morning.“Let’s do it on Sunday,” he said. “That would be great. First tee, we’re doing the rowing.”When asked if there will be extra banter with his English rivals this week, Hovland added: “Yeah, we’ll see. I feel like it’s a very sensitive subject for them, so it might cut a little too deep there if I push too hard.“But yeah, I hope they lose and come crying out on Sunday morning.”Win-win situationNorway progressed to the quarter-final by pulling off a stunning upset against Brazil. Haaland has stolen the spotlight at his first-ever World Cup as Norway punch above their weightGettyHaaland scored twice as the European nation, competing at their first World Cup this century, ran out 2-1 winners. England have been a mixed bag, delivering two exceptional performances against Croatia and Mexico, but struggling against Ghana, Panama and DR Congo. The Three Lions will nevertheless be heavy favourites against Norway – and defeat would represent failure in most eyes.Norway, on the other hand, are already in bonus territory, according to Hovland.“I’m no expert analyst when it comes to football,” the golfer continued. “But it does feel like even though this is a massive accomplishment for Norwegian football and just Norwegian sports in general, in a sense, we have already won. All of this is just a cherry on top.“But I think beating Brazil in the manner that we did, I think now they believe they can beat anybody, which is what they should believe, and I hope we go all the way.”
