I have known Sam since he was 13 years old and watch him develop at DT 265 academy. You will not meet a nicer person. He is ranked 8th in the world and that is without any 'luck' going his way at all. When that turns, and it will, he will be regarded as a top 5 player in the world. And yes, he is a proud LSU grad, just like me, and I am glad he is a Tiger. IF you aren't, get the heck off this board.

One last note, if you enjoyed Gotterup then this article is a must read.

Here’s just the first part but cluck on the free article to learn more about his journey. He has a great story. This was posted a month ago. And it was written by him alone:

I didn’t grow up as the can’t-miss kid. I wasn’t the junior golf prodigy everyone had circled early. I was the guy figuring it out a little slower, taking some lumps, learning the hard way what worked and what didn’t.

At my first stop in college, I built myself from the ground up. I went from being outside the top tier to becoming an All-American, but even then, it didn’t feel finished. COVID hit. I had hand surgery. My senior year didn’t go the way I wanted. It felt incomplete.

So, when I was gifted one more year of eligibility, I knew I needed something different. Not comfortable. Not familiar. Something that was going to push me.

That’s what Oklahoma was.

It wasn’t just about golf. It was about putting myself in an environment where everything around me demanded more, things like more focus, more accountability, more belief. I didn’t go there to ease into anything. I went there to see if I could actually become the player I thought I could be.

Looking back now, that one year changed everything.

Do you mean "gouge"? You've said bomb and gauge several times and I was starting to think I missed some new golf slang.

I don't like going this far in a statement. Because it is so hard to compare athletes in different sports and eras. I think once you reach a certain level of greatness it’s unfair to even compare.
