Lamprecht won the match 1-up against Dunlap to give the British Amateur champions two wins in a row
In the first-ever Georgia Cup of an amateur against a professional, the amateur secured the upper hand.
Christo Lamprecht defeated Nick Dunlap 1-up to win the 27th Georgia Cup match at The Golf Club Of Georgia, the Lakeside Course, in Alpharetta, Ga. Dunlap was the first-ever player to compete in the Georgia Cup after already turning pro.
Lamprecht made a 14-foot eagle putt on No. 18 to win over Dunlap in the tightly contested match.
The 6'8 23-year-old was the third South African to play in the match, joining Jovan Rebula in 2019 and last year's winner, Aldrich Potgieter.
South Africa is now 3-0 in the Georgia Cup.
