An amateur won a PGA Tour event; what happens with FedEx Cup points, exemptions, money, etc.?


Scott Verplank reacts to missing his putt at No. 18 at the 2014 Franklin Templeton Shootout at Tiburon Golf Club.

Dunlap is the ninth amateur to win on the PGA Tour. Here are the others. Note the glut of amateur winners in 1945, possibly due to many of the pros serving in the military opening up more spots in the fields:

1991: Mickelson, Northern Telecom Open.
1985: Scott Verpank, Western Open.
1956: Doug Sanders, Canadian Open.
1954: Gene Littler, San Diego Open.
1948: Frank Stranahan, Miami Open.
1945: Stranahan, Durham War Bonds Open; Fred Haas, Memphis Open; Cary Middlecoff, North and South Open.
1910: Chick Evans, Western Open.
