Dunlap becomes first player in PGA Tour history to win as an amateur and a pro in the same year

Nick Dunlap became the first player in PGA Tour history to win as an amateur and a professional in the same year, rallying Sunday for a two-point victory in the Barracuda Championship. In January at The American Express in La Quinta, the 20-year-old Dunlap — then a sophomore at the University of Alabama — became the eighth amateur to win a tour event and the first in 33 years. “I never thought that I would have my name next to that, but it’s definitely an honor,” Dunlap said about the amateur-pro double.
