Chris Gotterup shot an impressive 9-under 62 to come back to win the John Deere Classic on Sunday and claim his third PGA Tour title of the season and fifth of his career.
Gottharp has won four times in the past 12 months, but the contents of his golf bag haven’t changed much. The only small change to his bag since his win earlier this season was switching from a TaylorMade Qi35 5-wood to a new Qi4D 7-wood.

But the most notable piece of gear in his bag is a Bridgestone Tour BX golf ball with MindSet. Gottharp switched to the latest version of Bridgestone’s flagship tour golf ball at the beginning of the season and immediately won two of the first four events of the year.
He is also the only player in the past seven years to win with Bridgestone golf clubs, using the company’s 220 Series MB. The 220 series irons are the first golf clubs the company has released in five years, and Gottapp added them to his bag last year before his breakthrough win at the Scottish Open.
For the putter, Gotterup continued to use a Spider Tour XL neck wrapped tightly in lead tape to record his 10th win for the TaylorMade putter family. This is the most on tour since the company also led the tour in putter wins a year ago.

The G440 driver family (MAX, LST, SFT) is optimized to increase ball speed with multiple advancements, including PING’s deepest center of gravity ever in a driver and a shallower, thinner face, while ensuring the revolutionary forgiveness you’ve come to expect from a PING driver. The G440 LST (Low Spin) design appeals to players with faster swing speeds, and the 3-position back weight provides lower spin and more control with 9° and 10.5° lofts. High Forgiveness Lighter head weight allows heavier back weight. FASTER FACE Shallow, thin face increases ball speed for greater distance and higher launch. Sound Design The new shape, carbon crown, and internal ribs create a calm feel at impact. Free hosel design saves weight, lowers center of gravity and increases forgiveness. The deflection of the face on the heel side is increased, achieving stable ball speed across the entire face.

Forged Feel Incredible feel is essential to a great wedge game. The MG5 is forged from soft carbon steel and engineered with geometry that provides excellent feedback and great feel. MAXIMUM SPIN MG5 uses all-new, more aggressive grooves designed to maximize spin. The sawn grooves create tighter tolerances, allowing engineers to design steeper walls and sharper radii aimed at maximizing spin in both dry and wet conditions. Performance in all conditions RAW face with Spin Tread technology wicks moisture to keep you spinning. Just like the tread on a tire keeps your car connected to the road, laser-etched grooves redirect water at impact, creating more friction between the club face and golf ball to maintain spin even in wet conditions. A blend of craftsmanship and consistency Handcrafted and milled to perfection. Each wedge and sole grind is precision milled, eliminating the natural human error associated with hand grinding. Our grinds offer unparalleled consistency and craftsmanship that players can rely on every time. Charcoal Finish The MG5 features a sleek and sophisticated charcoal finish that reduces glare and enhances the beauty of the bag.
