Nick Dunlap Wins PGA Tour Event, The American Express
Dunlap becomes the first amateur golfer to win on the PGA Tour since Phil Mickelson in 1991
LA QUINTA, Calif. – University of Alabama sophomore men's golfer Nick Dunlap became the first amateur to win a PGA Tour event since 1991 when he claimed The American Express on Sunday evening. Dunlap won the event by one stroke over Christiaan Bezuidenhout, finishing the 72-hole tournament at 29-under par 259 (64-65-60-70).
The 2023 reigning U.S. Amateur champion, Dunlap, who is 20 years old, became the second-youngest PGA Tour winner in the past 90 years. Despite not walking with the prize money due to his amateur status, Dunlap will not go away empty-handed. The Crimson Tide sophomore earned PGA TOUR membership through the 2026 season with the victory, as well as exemptions into all 2024 Signature Events, including the Masters and PGA Championship.
Dunlap becomes the 11th different Alabama golfer to win a PGA Tour event with his victory (36 total victories).

This is like nothing I've ever felt. It's so cool to just be out here and experience this as an amateur. Whether I made or missed that last putt, if you told me Wednesday night that come (Sunday) I'd have a putt to win this golf tournament – it's just unbelievable.
