Chris Gotterup shot a brilliant 4-under 66 yesterday, outlasting crowd favorite Rory McIlroy at the Genesis Scottish Open. The American made two bogeys and six birdies—equally distributed between front and back nine—to capture his second PGA Tour title.

Gotterup ranked 4th in SG: Off the Tee (+4.44), 4th in SG: Putting (+7.302)—a lethal combination of raw power and clutch execution. This is his biggest victory yet and came at one of the toughest fields in the Tour. The rewards are fitting as well:

The weight of it all hit him hard. When Amanda Balionis put the mic in front of him, he couldn’t hold back tears, as you will see here.

But only eight months ago, Gotterup was golf's forgotten man. Seven MCs in the first 10 events this season, he was hemorrhaging cuts and confidence. Then Gotterup switched his caddie.

The turnaround was spectacular. Eight top-30 finishes in his last nine starts, including four straight top-20s and a career-best T23 at the U.S. Open. Now Royal Portrush awaits, and his ability to fly the ball low and master the bump-and-run makes him a legitimate threat.

Grace on fire

On the LPGA front, Grace Kim's maiden major victory came with all the theatrics you'd expect. Trailing by two on the 72nd hole, the Australian made an eagle, forcing a playoff with Jeeno Thitikul. The drama continued. On the playoff hole, Kim pulled off an impossible chip-in for birdie from the penalty area. One hole later, she drained a 15-footer eagle to claim her first major. Yeah, even she needed some time to soak it all in.

Well, Grace Kim did steal the show yesterday. But someone else quietly made their own breakthrough as well. It probably slipped under your radar, but 21-year-old Lottie Woad officially secured her LPGA card after her gutsy T3 at Evian. Here are a few more such moments you missed from last week:

One of us: How many times have you screamed at a putt? Just begging it to go in? Well, you’re not alone. Scheffler too. Even gods bleed, apparently, as you will see here. 

Lefty Rory: McIlroy had to settle for a runner-up, but he left no stone unturned. Even going left-handed to save par. How good is he? You have a look and judge for yourself.

Cursed replay: Golf tournament attendees need to fill out a form before entering. You will say the same after watching what happened to Nelly. The commentators' reactions say it all!

Free wheels: Nico Echavarria aced his way to a free car at the Genesis Scottish Open. Not a bad day at the office!

Buccaneer: Baker Mayfield knows how to keep fans happy. At the American Century Championship, fans handed the Bucs QB a can of beer. Watch what he did next.  

With that, we are officially into the Open Championship week. It was a beautiful chaos the last four days. And links golf will unleash more in the coming days.

Grace Kim pulled off a drool-worthy 188-yard bomb on the 18th to force the playoff. It was majestic, as you can see here. But the truth is, most of us would’ve sprayed it way wide. That’s what separates the pros from us weekend hackers. The difference? They've mastered these three fundamentals:

Jordan Spieth just dropped the most adorable golf news of the week! Baby Sully has officially joined the Spieth family roster. Now we call it family, but he calls it ‘foursome’. Surely, you will get all the feels when you see the Instagram post Spieth did.

But picture this for a moment: three little Spieths running around Augusta at the Par-3 Contest while Dad tries to keep his composure. And if Sammy's swing genetics are any indicator—check for yourself—Augusta National better start preparing for some serious competition in about 15 years.
