Only Nick Dunlap and Tiger Woods have won the U.S. Junior Amateur and U.S. Amateur titles.
CHERRY HILLS VILLAGE — Back from the abyss he stared out of early in the week, Nick Dunlap channeled the same motivation on the 33rd green of Championship Sunday that he had channeled after his dismal start to U.S. Amateur stroke play.
Dunlap did it by defeating Neal Shipley in the final, a grueling match in which Shipley couldn’t have played much better in the morning round. He erased a two-hole deficit to tie Dunlap with a birdie on the 18th. Dunlap had much to think about as he took his lunch break. “To be honest with you, I try to trick myself into thinking people don’t think I can win,” he said. “It doesn’t take much to get me fired up at all. I will grab onto things that people may not even mean. And I will use that to my advantage, as if they were trying to insult me.”
