PGA Tour : Sony Open Results
There was a fortnight in July 2025 in Britain when a strong stockily built American introduced himself to the world. We hadn't heard much about his college career, his golfing father Morten, or his win in an alternative PGA Tour event, One Flight Myrtle Beach Classic.
Chris Gotterup was #195 in the world, then he shocked us when he outplayed Rory to win the Genesis Scottish Open in North Berwick, before catching the train down to Royal Liverpool and placed 3rd behind Scott Scheffler at the Open Championship.
On Sunday he emerged from the pack after leader Davis Riley ran into bogey trouble mid round, with 3 birdies on the back nine for -6 64 (63 69 68 64) and a -16 264 total for the 2 shot win, and a spot at #17 in the world.
"I just felt like this week I was in a good frame of mind, happy to be here. I felt like I was in control of my brain which was the main thing. I drove it great and made some putts when it mattered."
Ryan Gerard who we saw on the DP World Tour when he flew to Mauritius to finish 2nd in a playoff to Jayden Schaper, thus getting into the world top 50 for the Masters, was 2nd 69 64 68 65, -14.
Canadians : None of Nick Taylor, Corey Conners or Adam Svensson count mount a charge at the lead on Sunday, here are all their scores.
Taylor Pendrith T6 69 68 68 64 -11
Sudarshan Yellamaraju T13 67 67 72 65 -9
Nick Taylor T13 62 69 70 70 -13
Corey Conners T24 70 67 65 71 -7
Adam Svensson T40 65 70 67 73 -5
This week its the American Express at La Quinta where European Ryder Cup star Sepp Straka will defend his title.
