Tour Proven: Doc Redman Clinches Thrilling Victory at the 2026 Visit Knoxville Open
KNOXVILLE, TN – May 26, 2026 – In a dramatic finish at the 2026 Visit Knoxville Open, Doc Redman secured his second Korn Ferry Tour win of the season with a nail-biting eagle putt on the first playoff hole.
Redman’s winning moment came on the challenging 18th green in a playoff after regulation play. Relying on his QUAD Tour Pistol NonTapered putter grip, his putt from the fringe rolled and stopped just on the edge of the cup. The crowd waited with bated breath before the ball fell to thunderous applause from the crowd. The pressure-packed shot capped off a stellar week of golf for Redman, whose consistency and poise set him apart throughout the tournament.
“…I was just trying not to be too fancy and get it on, and I did well. Then the last putt was crazy. I've been putting well all week and had some lip-outs late, so I guess whether it went in or not, I guess I deserved it in the end,” said Redman in an article posted by Yahoo! Sports.
The 2026 Visit Knoxville Open featured a competitive field and challenging conditions, but Redman’s skill and determination propelled him to the top. His eagle on the playoff hole will be remembered as one of the most exciting finishes in event history.
“Congratulations once again to Doc on his second victory this season at the Visit Knoxville Open,” said Garsen Golf CEO and Founder Bernerd Garsen. “Doc continues to prove that he not only belongs amongst the best players in the game, but that when the pressure is on and needs to make the big shots, he can rise to the occasion.”
Garsen notches its sixth win in 2026, with Redman one step closer to making his way back to the PGA Tour and securing his Tour Card for the 2027 season.
