Masters 2026: Why no oneās having a better weekend than Chris Gotterupās sister
TL;DR
Chris Gotterup is eight strokes behind the leaders at the Masters, while his sister Anna just won the Army-Navy lacrosse game and flew to Georgia to support him. Their family's sports weekend is filled with excitement as they aim for success in their respective competitions.
Itās been quite the sports weekend for the Gotterup family. Chris Gotterup is eight strokes back of the leaders heading into the final 18 holes of the Masters, and now his sister Anna has flown down to Georgia after winning the Army-Navy lacrosse game. That positive energy may be just what the four-time PGA Tour winner needs to climb into the top-five at his first-ever Masters.
Navy scored 10 straight goals to eventually surge past its rival and win 14-8 in the annual Star Game. But Anna didnāt have much time to celebrate with her team on Saturday afternoon. She had a flight to catch.

āIāve got two-and-a-half hours to get to the airport,ā Anna said after the win in Annapolis. āGet down to the Masters to watch my brother play and maybe win the Masters."
Anna admitted that she had heckled her brother heading into Augusta National, knowing that she could only make it down to the Masters for Sunday, āassuming he makes the cut, which I already pressured him on.ā Now sheāll be in Georgia with a win under her belt; itās only right that Chris tries to match her.
A standout senior on the nationally-ranked Navy lacrosse team, Anna was ādangerously close to losing her left leg due to a rare vascular condition called Popliteal Artery Entrapment Syndrome.ā In September, sheāll start flight school as a potential Navy pilot.
āI have a much greater appreciation for what she does in the military, now that she's involved,ā Chris said about his sister before the Masters. āIt's just really cool as a brother to see her do that, and I think she deserves a lot of notoriety, and I probably get more than I should."
