Nick Dunlap has announced that he is joining the PGA TOUR as a member and will make his first start at Pebble Beach.
Dunlap, who now becomes the youngest TOUR member, was the first amateur golfer in 33 years to win on the PGA TOUR since 1991, marking a historic moment at The American Express Golf Tournament in La Quinta, California on January 21st.
The American Express brings together top golfers from around the world and this year, 156 golfers and 156 amateurs showed up to compete. Dunlap shot 60 on Saturday, matching the lowest round by an amateur in PGA TOUR history, and shot 70 on Sunday to take home the ultimate win.
It was the fourth TOUR event for the Alabama golfer who has also became known as one of only two people to win both the U.S. Junior Amateur and U.S. Amateur golf championships.
