Norwegian Kristoffer Reitan gained his first PGA TOUR victory in his 15th start at the 2026 Truist Championship. After entering the day one stroke behind 54-hole leader Alex Fitzpatrick, Reitan carded a final-round 2-under 69 for a two-stroke victory over Rickie Fowler and Nicolai Højgaard.

In search of his first PGA TOUR victory in his 67th start, Nicolai Højgaard finishes runner-up for the second time this season (Texas Children’s Houston Open) and the fifth time overall, while 54-hole leader Alex Fitzpatrick cards a final-round 2-over 73 to finish solo-fourth and three behind Reitan. It was Fitzpatrick’s third straight top-10 finish (Zurich Classic of New Orleans/1st, Cadillac Championship/T9, Truist Championship/4th).
Four-time Truist Championship winner Rory McIlroy (T19) ranked: first in Strokes Gained Off the Tee (4.192) and 65th out of 72 players in Strokes Gained Around the Green (-3.475). Rory now has 13 top-20 finishes in 15 starts at the event.
