Who is Nick Dunlap? All you need to know about the 19-year-old 2023 US Amateur champion

Nick Dunlap is an amateur golfer from Northport, Alabama. He recently won the US Amateur Championship and became only the second male golfer to win US Junior and US Amateur, matching the record of legendary golfer Tiger Woods.

Dunlap ranks ninth in the World Amateur Golf Rankings and has won three events so far. He has 12 top-10 finishes and has played 28 tournaments.

The American amateur golfer defeated Neal Shipley in the final of the 2023 US Amateur to win the trophy on Sunday, August 20. He has also qualified to represent his country at the next month's Walker Cup.

Nick Dunlap played the third round of the US Amateur against Bowen Mauss and defeated him with a score of 5&3 to advance to the quarterfinal round of the tournament, where he played against Jackson Koivun. He defeated Parker Bell in the semifinals and then Shipley in the final.

Speaking about his performance and matching Tiger Woods's record, Dunlap said via ESPN:

"I think it's only a third of what he's done. Just to be in the same conversation with Tiger is a dream come true and something I've worked for my whole life."

“I just learned that I could do it. I always thought I could, but when you’re 5 over thru seven, your mind is spinning, you can’t see straight and all you see is red. I just learned that anything is possible as long as you put your mind to it," he added.

Dunlap previously won the US Junior Championship in 2021 and had qualified for the US Open, twice. But he missed the cut.
