With his victory at The American Express on Sunday, Nick Dunlap, a golfer from the University of Alabama, became the first amateur to win a PGA Tour tournament since 1991. His caddie gave him some amusing encouragement as he was wrapping up the win.
Dunlap turned in a stunning 60 on Saturday. That gave him a three-shot advantage heading into the last round. But the round on Sunday was difficult, as was to be expected. After trailing Dunlap by six strokes at the beginning of the round, recorded a five-under par 65. The pressure was on Dunlap as long as he was in control. He was under particular pressure when he had to make a putt on the 18th green, which was by no means easy.
