The club also removed the strips of bluegrass rough between the fairways and bunkers, allowing balls to trundle unimpeded into the bunkers. The changes are expected to place a greater demand on accurate driving. For good measure, the breakthrough win brought with it the last exemption into the field for this week’s US PGA Championship at Valhalla ... as well as another two years for his playing rights.
Gotterup, just two years into pro life after starting out on the Korn Ferry Tour, will be playing in his second career Major at Valhalla. He qualified for the US Open in 2022 in Brookline, where he finished tied-43rd.“Brooks is a man who’s comfortable in uncomfortable moments ... he’ll win a lot more, he’ll want to win all four Majors a couple of times.” – coach Pete Cowen on defending champion Brooks Koepka’s mentality heading into the US PGA Championship at Valhalla.
Parnevik’s fourth career win on the PGA Tour was achieved with rounds of 70-65-68-66 for a total of 11-under-par 269, although he very nearly had cause to regret a missed putt from inside 12 inches on the 12th hole of that final round.
