Pro golfer Nick Dunlap made history over the weekend by becoming the first golfer in Tour history to win as a pro and an amateur in the same year. Following his victory at the PGA Barracuda Championship in Lake Tahoe on Sunday, July 21, Dunlap shared an emotional conversation with his mother, Charlene, to celebrate his remarkable achievement.
Dunlap's mother expressed her pride and excitement for her son, praising his hard work and dedication to the sport. She became audibly emotional as she congratulated him on his success, highlighting the effort he had put in over the past several months.
After securing his second PGA Tour victory of the year, Dunlap eagerly asked his family to join him at the upcoming 3M Open in Minnesota for his shot at a third win. His mother enthusiastically agreed to attend the tournament, even planning to take time off work to support her son.
During his post-tournament interview with NBC Sports, Dunlap expressed his disbelief at his come-from-behind win, crediting his supportive team for always having his back. He acknowledged the rough patch he went through after his previous victory in January but emphasized the unwavering support he received from his team.
Looking ahead, Dunlap is set to compete in the 3M Open in Blaine, Minnesota, where his mother will be in attendance to cheer him on. The tournament is scheduled to tee off on Thursday, July 25, and Dunlap is determined to continue his winning streak with the support of his family and team.
