English played alongside Gotterup on Sunday at Royal Portrush.
“He can flight it, he can smash it,” English told reporters afterward. “I’ve played in nine or 10 of these and finished 14th and for him to finish third in his first one is pretty incredible. Got a heck of a game and I know the best is in front of him. I don’t know why it took him so long to play well out here.”
Gotterup playfully credited his parents’ Danish blood for his success overseas.
“I’ll take whatever happened over there, I’ll take whatever I can get,” he said. “Hopefully there’s some Danish-European connection here in Minnesota, too. You get people from all parts that I feel connected to. It’s just a cool part of my family.”
There might be a connection, but they’re strangers. Gotterup heard from fast friends he barely new in just one week overseas.
“I like seeing how many people followed along, all the texts I got from my family to high school to college,” Gotterup said. “You know, just friends of friends and everyone’s following along, which makes it’s really fun. It means I’ve been doing something good and I have people behind me.”
