Truist Championship winner Kris Reitan comes from a rich and famous family

Norwegian Kristoffer Reitan is a PGA Tour champion, winning the signature event Truist Championship in his 15th start.

Reitan shot a 69 in the final round at Quail Hollow Club in Charlotte to finish 15-under 269 for the week, two shots better than Rickie Fowler and Nicolai Hojgaard. Reitan had a one-shot lead on Alex Fitzpatrick with two holes remaining when Fitzpatrick, the brother of Matt Fitzpatrick, double-bogeyed the par-3 17th.
