American Chris Gotterup withstood a challenge from Northern Ireland’s Rory McIlroy and England’s Marco Penge to win the Genesis Scottish Open by two strokes in the leadup to next week’s British Open.
Gotterup, who began the final round tied with McIlroy at 9 under par for the tournament, shot a 4-under 66 at The Renaissance Club in North Berwick, Scotland, to claim the title. With the win, Gotterup pocketed a $1.575 million paycheck, but perhaps more importantly, he also secured a spot for himself at the upcoming Open Championship at Royal Portrush.
“I definitely was the villain out there today,” Gotterup said. “There were a lot of cries of ‘Rory’ and not many of ‘Chris.’”
