Chris Gotterup Wins His THIRD Event This Season + Jon Rahm In The Scottish Open

Smylie Kaufman and Charlie Hulme are back from a very #America250 Fourth of July weekend to break down a wild finish at the John Deere Classic, as Chris Gotterup's Sunday 62 was good enough to earn a THIRD win on the PGA TOUR this season. They dig into Gotterup's remarkable year (four wins in the last 365 days, matched only by Scottie Scheffler), his Rutgers-to-Oklahoma journey, and why he might be the most well-rounded young American on tour. Plus: Max Homa's solo-second week with new caddie John Ellis, what the 2028 Championship Series/Challenger Series restructuring means for events like John Deere, Rory McIlroy's 15-event exemption situation, a loaded Scottish Open field with some LIV Golf headliners in Jon Rahm and Tyrrell Hatton, and the debate around golf content creators skipping the mini-tour grind. Before all that: Smylie's neck gives out mid-round playing with Steven Spieth, and Charlie discovers the secret to fixing his golf game — playing with 12 clubs.
