Chris Gotterup ‘badass’ sister providing inspiration ahead of his Masters debut (Anna Gotterup '26)
The meteoric rise of PGA Tour golf star Chris Gotterup is well known. Chris this week will make his Masters Tournament debut.
There's a special spot in his heart for his little sister, Chris said.
His sister Anna's story is just as impressive.
The siblings grew up in Little Silver. Anna is a senior lacrosse player for the nationally ranked Navy team who was dangerously close to losing her left leg due to a rare vascular condition called Popliteal Artery Entrapment Syndrome.
It’s a condition that caused the former Red Bank Catholic star’s calf muscle to atrophy down to a small fraction of its normal size. Her early outreach for treatment is credited with saving the leg and preserving her athletic and military careers.
Anna said her goal this year is to help Navy win the national championship. The team was 11-0 - marking the best start in program history - before losing to No. 15 Loyola Maryland in late March. As of April 3, Anna has six goals and a career-high seven assists.
The third Gotterup sibling — Patrick, who works in sports marketing and occasionally caddies for Chris on the PGA Tour — is the "glue kid" of the family, dad Morten Gotterup said.
