Gotterup Rallies With 62 to Win John Deere Classic

The comeback gives him a third PGA Tour victory of 2026, a $1.584 million winner’s check, and momentum heading into next week’s Scottish Open.

Overview

  • Gotterup closed with a bogey-free, nine-birdie 9‑under 62 on Sunday to finish 20‑under and capture the title by one stroke.
  • Ben Kohles, who arrived at the 18th tied for the lead, hit his approach into the water and made a double bogey that robbed him of a playoff chance.
  • Max Homa finished alone in second at 19‑under after a late charge that fell one stroke short of tying Gotterup.
  • Gotterup earned $1.584 million for the win, extended his hot 2026 run to three victories, and improved his standing on season and world ranking lists.
  • The victory was emotional and personal as Gotterup was caddied by his brother Patrick, and he will immediately head to Scotland to defend his Scottish Open title next week.
