‘Just the beginning’: Fans, PGA Tour and LIV Golf players react to amateur Nick Dunlap’s PGA Tour win

Lefty was one of the first of many to congratulate the rising star on his victory.

What do Nick Dunlap and Phil Mickelson have in common? They’ve both won on the PGA Tour as amateurs.

Lefty accomplished the feat back in 1991 at the Northern Telecom Open in Tucson, Arizona, while at Arizona State, while Dunlap, a sophomore at Alabama, did so on Sunday at the 2024 The American Express at PGA West in La Quinta, California.

Mickelson was one of the first of many to congratulate the rising star on his victory, and his LIV Golf colleague Jon Rahm wasn’t far behind, but it was Dunlap’s Alabama teammates who had the best reaction by far. Check out how fans and players celebrated Dunlap’s incredible win.
