Kristoffer Reitan Wins Soudal Open in Playoff

Kristoffer Reitan won his first DP World Tour title at the Soudal Open in Belgium after starting the final round in 23rd place and nine shots behind leader Ewen Ferguson. Reitan fired a course-record 62 with 10 birdies, setting a clubhouse target of 13 under par. Ferguson, who was aiming for his fourth DP World Tour title, bogeyed the last hole, resulting in a three-way playoff with Reitan and Dutchman Darius van Driel. All three players made par on the first playoff hole before Reitan clinched victory with a 15-foot birdie putt on the second. The win capped a remarkable turnaround for Reitan, who had previously considered quitting the sport due to lack of progress. Van Driel's strong finish with three consecutive birdies brought him into the playoff.
