Gotterup Wins Scottish Open, Qualifies for Majors

News summary

Chris Gotterup, previously ranked 158th in the world, won the 2025 Genesis Scottish Open with a final-round 66, finishing 15-under and two shots ahead of Rory McIlroy and Marco Penge. This marks Gotterup's second PGA Tour victory and secures his first-ever appearance in next week's Open Championship at Royal Portrush, as well as qualification for the 2026 Masters. Gotterup's steady play on the back nine, with key birdies on the 12th and 16th holes, helped him overcome nerves, bunker trouble, and a slow play warning. McIlroy, who started the day in the lead, was unable to capitalize on birdie chances and shared second place with Penge. Gotterup earned approximately $1.5 million in prize money and has moved into the top 50 in the world rankings for the first time. The 25-year-old American's win is considered a breakthrough following a challenging season.
