Gotterup made his latest memory by shooting a nine-under-par 62 on Sunday to capture the John Deere title when Ben Kohles had a late mishap at TPC Deere Run in Illinois.<\/p>\n
“It’s always the \u200cgoal to come out here and try to win,” Gotterup said.<\/p>\n
“I really like this tournament. They’ve been so nice to me.”<\/p>\n
Gotterup played this tournament on a sponsor’s exemption in 2022, tying for fourth place in his first notable result on the PGA Tour. Now, he has something better.<\/p>\n
Gotterup rose from 12th at the beginning of the final day to finish at 20-under 264 and win on the PGA Tour for the fifth time, including three triumphs this year.<\/p>\n
Kohles, who \u200cwas in the final threesome and tied atop the leaderboard, hit his approach shot on No.18 in the greenside pond.<\/p>\n
After a penalty stroke, he took a double bogey.<\/p>\n
“I’m proud of the way I played. I played awesome all week,” Kohles said.<\/p>\n
“Obviously sucks to just have that happen on the last hole.”<\/p>\n
Max \u200cHoma (64 on Sunday) \u200cwas the runner-up at \u206019 under.<\/p>\n
“I had a good chance to catch him,” Homa said.<\/p>\n
“He just played better. … I had my \u200bchances. I just needed to be a little sharper.”<\/p>\n
