Rookie Kristoffer Reitan, ranked No. 25 globally, secured his first PGA Tour title with a two-stroke margin over Rickie Fowler and Nicolai Højgaard. Rory McIlroy, tied for 19th, said his round was unusually birdie-rich, reflecting personal satisfaction rather than contention for the win. Reitan’s victory grants him automatic entry into the upcoming PGA Championship, the next major on the calendar.
