Gotterup closes with a nine-under 62 using a SuperStroke Zenergy Pistol 2.0 grip.
Wixom, MI – SuperStroke, the No. 1 Putter Grip in golf and the leader in innovative Tour-proven golf grip technology, congratulates Chris Gotterup on claiming the fifth PGA TOUR title of his career at the John Deere Classic. The 26-year-old Maryland native and University of Oklahoma standout erased a five-shot final-round deficit with a 9-under 62 at TPC Deere Run, finishing at 20-under 264 to earn his third victory of the 2026 season.
Gotterup, playing with a SuperStroke Zenergy Pistol 2.0 grip, made the turn in style, ripping off four birdies in five holes to start his final round before closing the door with a clutch 15-foot birdie on the par-five 17th that proved to be the difference. He led the field in Strokes Gained: Total (12.910) and Strokes Gained: Off the Tee (5.413) on his way to collecting the $1.58 million winner’s purse.
“SuperStroke congratulates Chris Gotterup on keeping an incredible season going with a well-earned fifth career PGA TOUR title at the John Deere Classic,” said SuperStroke Vice President of Marketing Ryan Harris. “His putter continues to be a weapon week in and week out, and his trust in the Zenergy Pistol 2.0 speaks to the confidence our grips give players when the stakes are highest. We’re proud to be part of his bag as he continues one of the hottest runs on TOUR.”
The victory was Gotterup’s third of the 2026 season and moved him to No. 7 in the Official World Golf Ranking and No. 6 in the FedEx Cup standings. He will look to keep the momentum going as he defends his title at the Genesis Scottish Open.
