In just a few years, Chris Gotterup has gone from relative unknown to World No. 7 and one of the fastest-rising stars on the PGA Tour. He hops aboard The Par Train to break down the mindset behind the rise: how he handles pressure, builds confidence, responds when things go wrong, and thinks differently when he’s trying to win on Sunday at his first major, first win on Tour and first President's Cup coming off of his incredible 3-1-0 debut performance. If you're looking to get back to basics and simplify things in your own game, this episode is for you.
