22 January 2024 at 01:22 A tearful 20-year-old made sports history – this has not happened in 33 years A small piece of sports history was created when 20-year-old Nick Dunlap crushed the world’s elite and went all the way to the top during the American Express PGA tournament on Monday night. – If you had told me this was going to happen, I wouldn’t have believed you, said a tearful Dunlap to the organizer. The 20-year-old golf star is an amateur, so not a professional, but the world stars still had to see themselves beaten. This is the first time an amateur has won a PGA tournament since 1991, and Dunlap was the only amateur in the field. – I am completely shocked, commented Discovery’s golf expert Henrik Bjørnstad. The win was actually worth just under NOK 16 million, but as Dunlap is an amateur, he cannot receive prize money. The performance still means that he now has full playing rights on the PGA Tour for three years. Viktor Hovland did not play the tournament.
