Nick Dunlap now has something in common with Tiger Woods. Dunlap never trailed in his 4-and-3 victory over Neal Shipley to win the U.S. Amateur at Cherry Hills.
CHERRY HILLS VILLAGE, Colo. — Nick Dunlap capped a big summer with his biggest title yet, winning the U.S. Amateur at Cherry Hills on Sunday to join Tiger Woods as the only players to win the U.S. Amateur and U.S. Junior Amateur.
Dunlap, a 19-year-old at Alabama, won the U.S. Junior at the Country Club of North Carolina two years ago. Woods famously won three straight U.S. Juniors followed by three straight U.S. Amateur titles. He already was selected for the Walker Cup team this year, which will be held at St. Andrews. And he improved his record in match play to 30-2 dating to 2021.
Shipley took double bogey on the 14th hole after driving into a hazard and went 4 down, and the match ended on the next hole when Shipley failed to make birdie.
