Episode Notes

Welcome to Episode 6 of The PGAPappas Podcast. You're going to really love this one. Two-time PGA Tour winner and recent Genesis Scottish Open Champion Chris Gotterup joins the pod.

And Chris very candidly and openly shares with us how he approaches the game. We're going to learn a lot more about Chris. Not only who he is as a golfer. But also who he is as a person.

We dive deep into A LOT, including why the Scottish Open victory was more emotional for Chris than even earning his PGA Tour card and picking up his first career Tour win last year.

Chris shares what it was like to battle major champions Rory McIlroy and Wyndham Clark coming down the stretch Sunday at the Scottish Open.

We also talk about how Chris carried over that great play into The Open the next week at Royal Portrush. And how he's "leveled up" his game this year (and I'm telling you it's absolutely fascinating stuff).

We also talk about equipment changes Chris has made this year (he's a tinkerer). We talk FedExCup. We talk Ryder Cup (including what Captain Keegan Bradley recently told him).

And we even take a few questions you asked him on my social pages.

Chris is competitive, he's motivated. And he's also extremely humble and unpretentious . One of the true good guys and as likable a person you'll ever find both on and off the course.
