Why a 20-year-old golfer can’t collect $1.5-million prize after PGA Tour win in SoCal
LA TimesNick Dunlap celebrates after making a putt on the 18th hole to win the American Express tournament on Sunday in La Quinta. Nick Dunlap is the first winner of the American Express event on the PGA Tour who likely leaves home without an American Express card. Amateur champion, is the first amateur to win a PGA Tour event since Phil Mickelson won the Northern Telecom Open in 1991. “Starting the week, if you would have said, ‘Hey, in five days you’re going to have a PGA Tour card, or an opportunity for two years,’ I would have looked at you sideways,” he said. It affects a lot of people — my coach back there and my teammates — and it’s a conversation I need to have with a lot of people.” Regardless of whether he rolls with the Tide or the Tour, Dunlap appears to be golf’s next big thing and ought to be good for American Express Platinum status soon enough.
