Burns then yanks his drive on 18 in the drink. But Gesundheit birdied 18 and is only 1 back.

    Maybe no one gives a shit, but I wish someone would do some investigative reporting regarding LIV and Twitter golf accounts. I have no doubt in my mind that Flushing It is getting paid by someone to p

And Burns dunks another off 18 tee, beezdude birdies 18, lead down to 1 for  Dunlap and in the rough off the tee

Wowwww. He tried to throw up on himself and it broke amazingly for him.

Like I said, easy as fuck course helps when an am is trying to win.

I don't think 2 gets it done for the kid today. Not at stadium. Hope he pulls it off, though,  cool story. 

Narrator: it got it done

You fucking nailed it. I thought burns or jt would throw a 63 or 64 up on the board. Fucking awesome to see.

Eh. I would have put money on something like -30. My original comment was "2 under or so". 

It was a perfect storm for the kid: no one went low, it was a favorable scoring course all week, his playing partner threw up on himself and took a lot of pressure off, and, most importantly, he played another solid round of golf.

Right but he isn't getting it either way.

Kid just doubled 7 to fall back to -26 and a tie for the lead. I'd expect someone else to win at this point. Those knees are starting to shake.

I nailed the winning score, fucknut. I didn't claim who was going to win. 

He’ll make up for the lost purse with new endorsements.

Wouldn’t surprise me if amex pushed some his way through endorsements to help ease the pain as well.

Plus, if he turns pro, he gets in all the signature events, 5 of which are no-cut with guaranteed money.

So Bama finally had some good news this weekend...  

Fyi:  Dunlap and Tiger Woods are the only golfers to win both the U.S. Amateur and the U.S. Junior Amateur. While Dunlap got the celebration Sunday for one of the most impressive performances in recent golf history, he doesn't get the $1.5 million first-place prize, which goes to Bezuidenhout after the South African's final-round 65.

Dunlap also doesn’t get the 500 FedEx Cup points — but his rewards are still ample. If he stays at Alabama he gets in the Masters, U.S. Open and British Open as the U.S. Amateur champion. If he turns pro and joins the PGA Tour, he still gets in the Masters and U.S. Open, along with the remaining seven $20 million signature events on tour.  

 

I feel bad for the caddie (Bama asst coach Hunter Hamrick) (who happens to be a relative of my ex-wife… /csb).

gets zilch for the weekend and surely loses his best player tomorrow. Although the amount of “free” publicity /recruiting time this weekend I’m sure is a nice consolation prize.


(he was on the 2012 Bama squad that lost to Spieth and company. But unlike JT that day, actually got a point for his team).

Burns’ iron play the last two seasons has been dreadful. Rinses a soft 8 iron on 17 tied for the lead? Woof

Choke job by Burns but Dunlap held it together, that's a beautiful win.

Unbelievable really.  Fantastic play.  So what is the Tour's plan in a situation like this to retain talent should LIV approach?  

They'll let him walk. There's more in the pipeline just like him. Let's be real here that dude is a pro. He kinda hurt himself by staying am and not being able to collect a check yesterday.

"Just like him" is where I find this fascinating.  The list is short for players winning on tour as an AM.  The list is pretty small for owners of the US Junior and US AM titles.  The list of players winning on tour at his age is, once again, extremely small.  I get why he stayed in college, he had a direct path to the majors.  Nobody should ever turn that down.

I mean, are we already over Ludwig Aberg?

With the win he is in the Masters, am or pro, and he jumped from 4102 to 68 in the OWGR by winning the AmEx; that puts him on the cusp of making the majors by getting into the top 50, and winning gets him into the Signature ($20mm limited field events) unless there is fine print somewhere about having to be a PGA tour member. He will be fine with his decision, either way - I can't think he stays am for long, as IMO it would be hard to play in the college events all the while knowing you have a golden ticket to play in PGA events. Then again he might just be giving a little time to get his sponsor deals worked out.

Oh his timeline is sped up for sure now, not much reason to stay but I like that he withdrew this week to sort things out.  Extremely smart.

Dunlap makes the only decision and turns pro. 
 

I don’t believe that JT  really said this but I wish that he had.

I totally forgot this was a Wed-Saturday tournament week, thought I would catch the first round scoring  - I was wrong.

Quote

Nick Dunlap, who recently became the first amateur in 33 years to win on the PGA TOUR, announced Thursday that he is turning professional and intends to accept PGA TOUR membership. The announcement came in a press conference on the University of Alabama campus in Tuscaloosa, Alabama.

"It was the easiest, hardest decision that I've ever had to make," Dunlap said on Thursday. "I was very fortunate that everyone had the same opinion about it, and my teammates were awesome and very supportive. It goes back to the family that Alabama has; they were very supportive and wanted me to chase my dreams."

Dunlap, a sophomore at Alabama, won The American Express in La Quinta, California, on Jan. 21. He is the first player to win the U.S. Junior Amateur, U.S. Amateur and a PGA TOUR event while still an amateur and is the second-youngest TOUR winner since World War II (behind only Jordan Spieth).

When did the field at Torrey Pines get so shitty?

it's a shame, really.  Tiger and Rahm were regulars there but not anymore. it's not an elevated event, so Scottie and Jordan and JT and a lot of big names don't show up.  some of the top Euros were in Dubai last week so understandable that they can't get from Dubai to San Diego for a Wednesday start.

but it's hard to believe that a lot of the top American players would pass up San Diego in January at a US Open quality course because it's not an exclusive event or the course doesn't fit their game or whatever lame excuse they have.

Pebble Beach is an elevated event this year too. Easy to skip this one with PB, WM and Genesis coming up. 

Why was it a Wednesday start? NFL on Sunday?

This is the least interesting leaderboard I've seen in awhile. Jesus. 

Anyone else just see the drone shot of one of the leaders stepping off the back of the tee box to piss in the bushes?

No - because I flipped it on then flipped it off when I saw who was leading. 

I’ve only heard of a handful of the players in the top 40. What a shitty field. 

If you get a chance, go play torrey pines. The place is beautiful, a great great track

This is what happens with the new signature events, it will basically keep the big name draws out of the week before because they "have" to play the next week. It will be interesting to see what happens to the Phoenix Open, as it is the week between 2 signature events.

Finau, Hossler and Xander all on the first page now. 

Pavon bogeys #17.

Tune in now to CBS for final hole drama  😋

Weird having a Saturday Final Round

And Pavon misses fairway on #18 hanging on to a 1 shot lead...  

Pavon hits lay up shot into thicker rough... playing too fast with his first chance to win a PGA tournament...

Wow
