Nick Dunlap, a 19-year-old golfer from Huntsville, Alabama, completed a remarkable turnaround by winning the U.S. Amateur Golf Championship, becoming only the second golfer in history to win both the U.S. Junior Amateur and U.S. Amateur championships, joining Tiger Woods. Dunlap's victory came after a dismal start to the tournament, but he rallied in match play and defeated Neal Shipley in the final. Dunlap embraced the history and pressure, using it as motivation to secure the title and etch his name in golf history.
