PORTRUSH, Northern Ireland — It was shortly after 2 in the afternoon Tuesday at Royal Portrush when Chris Gotterup emerged from a walkway and appeared at the first tee.

Chris Gotterup had one heck of a two-week trip across the pond. Before he left, he had career earnings of $2,768,333 but made $2,703,000 in the U.K.

Gotterup held on late on Sunday to top McIlroy and the rest of the field and win the Genesis Scottish Open. That marked his second career PGA Tour win and earned the 25-year-old one of the final spots into next week's British Open.
