GOLF FANS REACT AS NICK DUNLAP DEER HUNTING PHOTOS COME TO LIGHT

Nick Dunlap sets new PGA Tour record as golf fans comment on his deer hunting passion.

While the golf world is cheering Nick Dunlap on for breaking records on the PGA Tour at The American Express, it’s reasonable to say that some fans of the game are divided over one of his greatest interests off the course.

As we’ve seen with many other PGA Tour players, including the most recent Open champion Brian Harman, 20-year-old Dunlap’s love of deer hunting has been revealed on Instagram.

After his dramatic one-stroke victory at The American Express, Dunlap set several notable records on the PGA Tour.

He not only became the first amateur to win a PGA Tour event since Phil Mickelson in 1991, and the eighth overall, but he also became the second youngest amateur to win on the PGA Tour and the youngest in 93 years.

Dunlap even set the low 72-hole score at The American Express of 29-under par.

The fact that he and Tiger Woods are the only golfers to have won the US Amateur, US Junior Amateur, and a PGA Tour title is arguably his greatest accomplishment.

In addition to winning the US Junior Amateur in 2021, Dunlap also won the US Amateur in 2023.

Amidst a crucial decision that Dunlap must make regarding his team this coming week, Jon Rahm was prompt in offering his congratulations.

Dunlap’s only disappointment was that, as an amateur, he was not eligible to receive the substantial first-prize cheque.

Dunlap must now decide whether to become a professional, and we’ve looked at some of the benefits and drawbacks of that choice here.

Disregarding his amazing accomplishment in the Californian desert, however, it hasn’t taken long for a number of golf enthusiasts to voice their opinions about Dunlap’s deer hunting.

After his unexpected victory, in which he began the week as an outside 400/1 favorite, Dunlap has accumulated just under 40,000 followers on his Instagram page.

Among the pictures of him playing golf and his girlfriend Isabella Ellis, there are images showing Dunlap’s love of deer hunting.

In December 2023, Dunlap wrote his final post about deer hunting.

The photos have seemingly divided golf fans on social media, with some in favour of his hobby while others are not so amused.
