Local golf standout Charlie Reiter earns exemption on PGA TOUR Canada
Charlie Reiter is headed North.
The former Palm Desert standout earned a full year of exemption on the PGA TOUR Canada circuit after winning a 72-hole qualifier at nearby Soboba Springs in San Jacinto.
Congrats to @charles_reiter on his win and exemption on @PGATOURCanada this summer! Reiter (-15) beat out fellow desert native Kyle K (-14) by one shot after 72-hole qualifier at @SobobaCasino1. Came down to final hole. Charlie birdies, Kyle bogeys. Golf, man. @acaseofthegolf1 https://t.co/xHAN4ot9He
