Reitan becomes only the second Norwegian to ever win on the PGA Tour, joining Viktor Hovland.
He also joins a club at Quail Hollow that includes some pretty good names. Rickie Fowler, Rory McIlroy, Wyndham Clark, and Max Homa all earned their first PGA Tour wins on this course.

The Truist Championship is in the books and we have a story that nobody saw coming.
Kristoffer Reitan, the PGA Tour rookie from Norway who almost did not even make the field, just won one of the strongest Signature Events of the year at Quail Hollow.
