Memorial Tournament - Top 20 Including Ties

7:45am EDT - Jun 4/2026

THE PLAY: Chris Gotterup Top 20 including ties (+122)

Chris is slowly getting back to his form that he held with his 2 victories to kick off the 2026 season and he is doing so with a solid putting game and gaining strokes from tee-to-green consistently within his starts. Gotterup is leaning on his putter while gaining strokes in his previous 8 starts but he has gained 3.9 - 4.4 - 2.8 strokes over his last 3 starts coming into this week. Chris will need to clean up his form around the greens while scrambling and his form of 2 missed cuts in as many starts at Muirfield Village, but I do like the way he is playing coming into the week and he offers a bit of value at plus money for the Top 20 this week.

Consultant Bio

Working at a country club a mile east of Del Mar Racetrack, Sean was introduced to horse racing and his passion for the sport took off. The puzzle of going through past performances and replays appealed to Sean and spent his time after work listening to respected handicappers to learn as much as he could. In his first season playing the NHC Tour, he qualified for the Championship by placing 2nd in the LRF Cares contest after turning his initial $250 bankroll into $3,640.40. In this year's Xpressbet Kentucky Derby contest, Sean finished 6th by flipping the $2,000 bankroll into $15,681.85 while also taking home a 2024 Pegasus World Cup Betting Challenge entry valued at $6,000.
