It is Chris Gotterup’s world and everyone is just living in it.
Chris Gotterup wins John Deere Classic for fifth PGA Tour victory
Chris Gotterup is having quite the season on the PGA Tour
Things certainly seem that way as Gotterup picked up his fifth career PGA Tour victory on Sunday at the John Deere Classic. Gotterup began Sunday five shots back of the lead and carded a final round of 62 to take home the win. Pretty impressive stuff.
Gotterup’s comeback was two strokes shy of the largest in tournament history (Roger Maltbie overcame a 7-shot deficit in 1975), but it was his largest individually as he “only” overcame a four-stroke deficit to win the WM Phoenix Open earlier this season.
The Sony Open was also claimed by Gotterup which means he has three victories on Tour this season. This most recent one comes a week before the Genesis Scottish Open where Gotterup is also reigning champion. Like I said, his world.
Following the Scottish the world of golf will see its final major this year in the Open Championship. Right now Chris Gotterup makes as much sense as anybody.
Congratulations to him!
