Dunlap shot 29-under par to win that tournament. On Sunday at the Barracuda Championship, Dunlap carded a 62, but that translated to plus-19 for the round because he had seven birdies and one eagle without any bogeys. Under the Modified Stableford scoring format, an eagle is worth five points and a birdie two points. Pars aren’t worth anything, and a bogey costs the golfer one point and a double bogey or worse loses three points.
Dunlap held fourth place when he rolled in a 55-foot eagle putt on the par-5, 562-yard 15th to shoot into the lead during the final round. He picked up another two points with a birdie at the par-4 17th hole, then waited for the rest of the field to finish.. “I hadn’t made an eagle yet this week, and that was kind of the outside-chance one that I really didn’t think I was going to make. And that’s what happens – they go in.
“On 17, I started to look at scoreboards and see where I was at, and I thought: Birdie 17 and potentially birdie 18, I’d be very, very comfortable in that position. But happy to be here.”While Dunlap couldn’t accept the $1.512 million first-place prize when he won the American Express, he earned $720,000 for winning the Barracuda Championship.If you purchase a product or register for an account through a link on our site, we may receive compensation.
