The win poses a significant decision for Dunlap about whether to leave college early and turn pro, as the victory grants him a two-year exemption on the PGA Tour and qualifies him for major championships
Throughout his journey, Dunlap received guidance from mentors like Jeff Curl, a former Korn Ferry Tour player, who helped him navigate the professional golf landscape
Despite not receiving prize money as an amateur, Dunlap's victory puts him in a unique position to consider turning professional, a decision that would impact not just his career but those around him
