Amateur Golfers Shaking Up the Game | Florida State Seminoles Football News

Nick Dunlap just shattered records as the first amateur in over a decade to win a PGA Tour event, claiming the American Express with a stunning 1.8 million-dollar payday while still playing college golf at Alabama. Meanwhile, James Whaley, who played NAIA just last year, stunned the golf world by winning the U.S. Amateur after trailing by two strokes—thanks to a game-changing pep talk from his coach urging him to “trust your eyes.” Now set for The Masters, U.S. Open, and Open Championship, Whaley also headlines the Walker Cup for Great Britain and Ireland—and even had his dad caddie for him, ending his dad’s career on a championship high. These young phenoms prove that greatness can emerge from anywhere, turning amateur dreams into professional reality.
