Truist Issues: Fowler, Fitzpatrick fumble while Reitan Steals the Show

This week on Tough Lies, the biggest story in golf isn’t swing mechanics — it’s self-belief.

Colin and Richard break down Kristoffer Reitan’s breakthrough win at the Truist Championship after only getting into the field because of withdrawals — and how a mindset shift toward bringing more freedom and fun back into golf may have changed everything. At one point, Reitan even considered becoming a golf YouTuber before rediscovering confidence in his game and outlasting Rickie Fowler and Matt Fitzpatrick at Quail Hollow.

The guys also dive into:

•    Rory McIlroy living and dying with the driver after a disastrous third round

•    Alex Fitzpatrick continuing to “walk the gauntlet” of learning how to contend at the highest level

•    Why Brandt Snedeker won for the first time in 8 years with the same core ingredient: belief

The heart of the episode is a deeper conversation around the power of self-belief in golf:

•    How elite players build confidence

•    Why most golfers wait for results before believing in themselves
