Nick Dunlap, a 20-year-old sophomore who plays golf for the University of Alabama, achieved an impressive feat by winning the American Express tournament at the PGA West golf course in La Quinta, California. Despite besting a host of pro-golfers, his amateur status means he won’t be able to take home the $1,512,000 prize. Runner-up Christiaan Bezuidenhout will receive the first-place prize. Dunlap’s score of 29-under par was one stroke better than Bezuidenhout’s, who finished second. This marks the first time an amateur has won a PGA Tour event since 1991. PGATour.com states that the win also qualifies Dunlap to turn professional at any point and join the 2024 PGA Tour with automatic membership through the 2026 season. With his win in the US Amateur championship last year, along with his US Junior Amateur championship victory in 2021, Dunlap’s bright future as a professional golfer seems promising.
