Viktor Hovland put on quite a performance through his opening round of the Masters, shooting a bogey-free 65 on Thursday.

It was the Norwegian's first time breaking 70 in competition at Augusta National, and the lowest round he's ever had playing in a major.

Hovland's round was methodical. He was in complete control.

But Hovland's game wasn't the only eye-catching part of his day at Augusta National, as he was wearing an extremely bold shirt throughout his round.

In golf, "scripting" is a term used to describe the outfits players will be wearing throughout the week. Players have relationships with brands and their four days playing televised golf serve as a billboard for those brands.

This year, Hovland's shirt was made by J.Lindeberg as a part of their Tour Collection. The shirt was inspired by the azaleas that surround the 13th green at Augusta National.

If you enjoyed Hovland's shirt on Thursday, just wait until Sunday.

Golf writer Dylan Dethier offered a sneak peak of what Hovland is set to wear the rest of the week.

On Twitter, golf fans were quick to both praise and criticize Hovland's fashion choice.

But as one fan pointed out, Hovland's shirt choice for Sunday might look a bit silly if he winds up wearing the green jacket. Green on green? Who does that?

Hovland had the low round of the day when he finished on 18 at 7-under. He is set to tee off at 1:24 p.m. on Friday for the second round.
