Chris Gotterup Wins John Deere Classic with a 62 and Late Help From Kohles
Gotterup closed with a 9-under 62 for his third PGA Tour victory of the year after Kohles made a double bogey at 18.
- Chris Gotterup captured the John Deere Classic on Sunday at TPC Deere Run in Silvis, Illinois, closing with a 9-under 62 to overcome a five-shot deficit. His victory was secured when co-leader Ben Kohles hooked his approach into water on the 18th.
- Kohles, seeking his first PGA Tour title in his 120th start, held the lead entering the final hole but hooked his approach into a water hazard. The double bogey that followed allowed Gotterup to clinch victory.
- With brother Patrick caddying, Gotterup secured the $1.584 million top prize from the $8.8 million tournament purse. This victory marks his third title of the season and fifth career PGA Tour win, finishing at 20-under 264.
- Runner-Up Max Homa finished at 19-under, while Kohles tumbled to a tie for third after his final-hole mishap. "Tough way to finish, especially how I played all day," Kohles said, reflecting on the costly error.
- Gotterup travels to Europe next week to defend his title at the Scottish Open, where he held off Rory McIlroy a year ago. His three wins this season position him as a top contender heading into major international events.
