PARAMUS, N.J. – On Luke Gutschewski’s Iowa State bio page, there is a graphic that lists a few interesting nuggets about the sophomore from Elkhorn, Nebraska:
Favorite club? Putter.
Favorite golf course? Butler National.
Favorite PGA Tour player? Scott Gutschewski.
“What was I supposed to put there?” Luke said with a laugh.
Good point. Scott Gutschewski is a 45-year-old who has won twice on the Korn Ferry Tour, in 2003 and 2008, and played six seasons on the PGA Tour, including this season. He’s also Luke’s dad.
It’s not uncommon in these elite amateur fields to find sons of Tour pros.
