Similar to the top teams, the top individuals have had spectacular starts to the fall.
Alabama sophomore Nick Dunlap, the U.S. Amateur champion, won the stroke-play portion of SEC Match Play, won his match, then finished second at the Hamptons Intercollegiate and eighth at the Fighting Illini Invitational. He also finished second at the World Amateur Team Championship in Abu Dhabi last month.
Meanwhile, Georgia Tech senior Christo Lamprecht, the top-ranked men’s amateur in the World Amateur Golf Ranking and No. 2 in the college rankings, has a pair of wins at the Ben Hogan Collegiate and the Fighting Illini Invitational on top of two match-play wins at the East Lake Cup, where he finished eighth in stroke play.
Gordon Sargent, the junior at Vanderbilt and one spot behind Lamprecht in WAGR, finished runner-up to Dunlap in stroke play at SEC Match Play and also placed third at the Ben Hogan. He’s fifth in the individual rankings, behind North Carolina’s David Ford (third) and Maxwell Ford (fourth).
