Ruuttila turned professional in December 2006 after she earned an LET card at Q-School. In her rookie year, she tied for 6th at the Finnair Masters in her native Finland. Her best shot at a win on the LET came at the 2011 Austrian Ladies Open, where she fired seven birdies and one bogey in a second round of 66 to take a one stroke lead into the final round.[2] A disappointing 76 on the final day saw her finish third behind Caroline Hedwall and Caroline Afonso.[3] She later finished tied 4th at the 2011 Lacoste Ladies Open de France, two strokes off the lead, to end the season 54th in the Order of Merit.[1]
In 2010 Ruuttila won 4 of 14 tournaments on the Swedish Golf Tour, including the Ladies Finnish Open, and won the Order of Merit.
In 2012 she sustained a back injury that ended her career in 2013.[1]
