Chris Gotterup drives up in British open surge

Deilthush, Northern Ireland – Chris Gotterup has made “House Money” a potential rocket ship for his golf career at the British Open this week.

“I said all week that this week was house money for me.” The Little Silver, New Jersey, born, said on Saturday, after shot 68 to get 8-unar-par, and in a tie for the fourth place shots behind the Fiihrer Scottie Scheffler. Everything is a bonus. I expect my best fully and we will see where that ends. “

Gotterup won the Scottish Open seven days ago, a life -changing victory that earned him a place in Portrus this week in the British Open Field. And to say that he exploited it would be a massive understatement.

“I have the feeling that I have had a little taste in the past few weeks, what it feels like with Oakmont as it feels [U.S. Open] And the Scottish open and things like that, ”he said.

Gotterup, who played his college golf with Rutgers and Oklahoma, said he was trying not to rethink why he is taking his step at the moment.

“I just have the feeling that I am starting to make myself more comfortable, he said.” I feel like I can understand my game better and how I work and what kind of golf is needed in certain places. I only have the feeling that I had a great control over my misses and my attitude.

“I have no answer,” he continued. ” I wish I had it. I would have used it a long time ago. Just clicked something, and I will drive it as long as possible and learn why Stuff works well and just put it in my back pocket and try to get it from there to every tournament and to learn on the way.

“It was definitely a good learning process in the past few months, and I have the feeling that I have put together good work and tried to find out why fabrics happens, good or bad, and use it for the future. ''

The 25-year-old Gotterup was one of the emerging young players in the game. More of what has taken place in the past two weeks and he could fit into the conversation with Ryder Cup.

This is a place where he refuses to let his mind wander because there is a job on Sunday, where he will be one of the pursuers, the Scheffler pursue.

“He has been the best player in the world in recent years,” said Gotterup. I will have to do my best tomorrow, and I still have to bring it because it is one last round in a major. It's not just Scottie out there, there are many great players in the mix. ''
