The PGAPappas Podcast, Episode 4: Chris Gotterup

Chris Gotterup won the inaugural Myrtle Beach Classic last week breaking through for his first career PGA Tour victory. Chris joins the pod from Valhalla Golf Club where he's competing in the PGA Championship and talks with me about what he felt after winning his first Tour event and what this first Tour win means. We take a look at the unique way Chris prepares for each Tour event (Chris actually likes just walking the course rather than playing it in practice rounds), discuss why he's playing with more control and ease, his greater awareness, and dive deeper into improvements he's made in his short game. Chris also opens up about pressure, expectations, confidence, and you'll get the sense very quickly Chris is very grounded and very poised. He really embodies the saying "don't complicate the simple, simplify the complicated." Chris explains what #TheTripleVodka is all about, lets me know if he likes the nickname I've given him - "The Motto," and is an absolutely genuine, straight talking, salt of the earth kind of person. This one was a lot of fun.
