Nicholas Dunlap (Huntsville, Ala.) and Jacqueline Putrino (Sarasota, Fla.) grind it out at TPC Myrtle Beach
Dunlap entered the final round just one shot off the lead and built a cushion that allowed him to overcome a double bogey on No. 16. Dunlap shot 75 Sunday and finished the 54-hole event at 3-under par, two strokes clear of Luke Clanton (Miami Lakes, Fla.), Brendan Valdes (Orlando, Fla.) and Maxwell Ford (Peachtree Corners, Ga.).
Putrino was 4-over par on the day and tied with Hyo Joon Jang (Howey in the Hills, Fl.) atop the leaderboard when she made a clutch 18-foot birdie putt on TPC Myrtle Beach’s par-5 18th hole to win the event. Putrino finished at 6-over par, one better than Jang and two strokes clear of Savannah Hylton (Hilton Head, S.C.) and Catherine Park (Irvine, Calif.).
Putrino entered the final round trailing Andie Smith (Hobe Sound, Fla.) by three shots. Smith doubled the opening hole and never found her rhythm on a day when scoring was difficult for the entire field.
