Golf: Amateur Dunlap Grabs Historic PGA Tour Title At The American Express

By IANS News January 23, 2024 • 15:42 PM View: 628

Official World Golf Ranking: The American Express tournament was sensationally won by 20-year-old Nick Dunlap, who became the first amateur since 1991 to win a PGA TOUR tournament as he ground out a 70 to edge South Africa’s Christiaan Bezuidenhout by a single stroke with his 29-under winning total.

Chinese Taipei’s Kevin Yu flirted with a maiden PGA Tour victory with a scintillating final round of 9-under 63 before settling a career-equaling best finish of tied third at The US$8.4 American Express.

Dunlap, the reigning U.S. Amateur champion who was competing on a sponsor's exemption, produced a gutsy up-and-down par save on the last for an historic victory over a stellar field which featured 21 players in the top 50 in the Official World Golf Ranking, including World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler.
