Norway's Kristoffer Reitan earns 2-shot win at Truist Championship for first PGA Tour victory
Reitan earned his first PGA Tour victory with a custom Ping putter that engineers built to match his stroke, and he finished second in strokes gained putting.
- On Sunday, PGA Tour rookie Kristoffer Reitan shot 2-under 69 at Quail Hollow to win the Truist Championship, his first PGA Tour victory, finishing at 15-under 269.
- Following a February visit to the Ping PLD lab, Reitan began using a custom Ping PLD Scottsdale TEC Ally Blue H putter featuring a plumber's neck and specific sight line tailored to his stroke.
- Overtaking third-round leader Alex Fitzpatrick, Reitan secured the win with a two-putt birdie on 15 as Rickie Fowler stumbled late with a bogey on 18, falling two shots back.
- Reitan finished second in the field in strokes gained putting, picking up 5.158 shots; Ping Principal Design Engineer Tony Serrano credited the putter's match to his natural stroke.
- Previously a two-time European Tour winner, Reitan overcame his runner-up finish last month at the Zurich Classic alongside Kris Ventura to secure his first PGA Tour victory.
