The PGA Tour is across the pond this week and it’s time for the second round of the 2025 Genesis Scottish Open.
The Renaissance Club in North Berwick, Scotland, is the stage once again. The 7,282-yard, par-70, Tom Doak-design opened in 2001 and ranks 10th on the Golfweek’s Best 2025: The top 50 classic courses in Great Britain and Ireland list.
After a solid 68 on Thursday, Chris Gotterup went wild on Friday at the Scottish, firing a 29 on the front nine en route to an outstanding 61 to move to 11 under par.
“I definitely played good today. Not a lot of wind in the morning which was obviously beneficial. But yeah, it’s funny, when it flips you get some holes that you like and some holes that you don’t like and vice versa. I think there’s definitely certain holes that feel nice. Nice three pars to finish,” he said. “You just take what you can get, what the course gives you with the wind, and I think it’s much more pin location oriented and where you can get to in some spots you have to be smart and take your 30-footer on some holes.”
Gotterup made over 130 feet in putts on the way to the lead.
