LOS ANGELES, United States, Jan 19, 2026 (BSS/AFP) - Chris Gotterup fired a six-under-par 64 to surge to victory in the PGA Tour's season-opening Sony Open in Hawaii on Sunday. The 26-year-old from Maryland finished on 16-under-par 264, two shots clear of compatriot Ryan Gerard, who carded a closing 65. Gotterup's win follows his victory at last year's Scottish Open when he held off Rory McIlroy for a two-shot victory, an experience he said helped him on Sunday. "I felt like when I've been in control of my game, when I've had a chance to win, I've done it," Gotterup said. "When you get in contention, you're able to hit shots under the gun, you just believe in yourself that you can do it again.
