Alex Fitzpatrick’s hopes of a first individual win on the PGA Tour were dashed as Kristoffer Reitan claimed a maiden victory at the Truist Championship on Sunday.<\/b><\/p>\n

England’s Fitzpatrick went into the final round with a one-shot lead<\/a> over Reitan but his Norwegian rival secured a two-shot victory at Quail Hollow in Charlotte, North Carolina.<\/p>\n

The 28-year-old fired a two-under round of 69 to reach 15 under overall, with Denmark’s Nicolai Hojgaard and American Rickie Fowler tied for second.<\/p>\n

Fitzpatrick was a shot further back after a round of 73, which began with a bogey and double bogey inside his first three holes.<\/p>\n

The 27-year-old recovered to level par with his fourth birdie on the 13th hole, giving him a share of the lead.<\/p>\n

There was a four-way tie at the top of the leaderboard on the back nine but while others faltered, Reitan stayed steady to win on only his 15th PGA start.<\/p>\n

Fitzpatrick won the Zurich Classic with his older brother Matt last month, which earned him a two-year exemption on the PGA Tour.<\/p>\n

He then finished in the top 10 at the Cadillac Championship and was one stroke behind Reitan before his second double bogey of the day on the par-three 17th.<\/p>\n

Compatriot Tommy Fleetwood finished in a tie for fifth on 11 under after closing with a two-under 69.<\/p>\n

Fitzpatrick, the world number 120, told Sky Sports: “It’s still very surreal [to be in contention]. It’s crazy to feel disappointed but I still am.<\/p>\n

“I’m happy for Kris, he deserves it, and hopefully it’ll be mine another time.”<\/p>\n

World number four Matt Fitzpatrick finished on one-over after a final round 72 while Northern Ireland’s Rory McIlroy bounced back from a 75 on Saturday to finish with a 67 on five under.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
