Chris Gotterup gave himself one hell of a 26th birthday present Sunday: a third-place finish in the British Open.

Chris Gotterup had one heck of a two-week trip across the pond. Before he left, he had career earnings of $2,768,333 but made $2,703,000 in the U.K.

After shooting a 1-over 72 on Thursday at the British Open, Gotterup rebounded to back up his win perfectly. He made two eagles on Friday to get right back under par, and then he kept himself in it with a third-round 68. While it wasn't enough to catch Scheffler — nobody could — Gotterup never wavered.
