The PGA TOUR returns to the mainland this week for the 65th annual playing of The American Express. This event is the first multi-course event of the season. Justin Thomas will be teeing it up for the first time this year, his first appearance in La Quinta since finishing T7 in 2015. He’ll be looking to replicate the form which saw him claim three-straight top-fives worldwide after missing out on the FedExCup Playoffs. Scottie Scheffler will also be in California this week and has three top-25 results at The American Express in his career highlighted by a solo third in 2020. He also managed a T5 at The Sentry two weeks ago. Min Woo Lee will also like his chances this week in the Coachella Valley as he concluded 2023 as one of the hottest on the planet with a pair of wins worldwide highlighting a stretch of five-straight top-15s. Others to look out for are Xander Schauffele, Tony Finau, Rickie Fowler and Will Zalatoris.

Nick Dunlap we just saw the same or similar shot from minwu Lee going with a big high carving slice into this green the par five lands it on the front of the green right at the flag stick what a great shot he got going right away began on his back nine over

At laint second hole of the day this for eagle and just a tick short but a tap in birdie to really get your round oh beautiful putt beautiful Putt and that’ll be a simple tap in birdie and that’ll get him to 16 under and within a

Couple shots off the lead now he’s got to keep his foot on the gas you got back toback power fives coming up after this one so is a relatively large grein probably going with uh just a nice firm six iron there for Dunlap and he’ll Chase up and an opportunity for a bonus

Birdie on one of the tougher holes the 20-year-old Amer from the University of Alabama Nick Dunlap boy isn’t that the truth he opened up with the 64 you thought well how would he come back round number two 65 birdie is certainly in play so two in

A row there for Dunlap on 13 that was for Eagle as well so just think how low this round actually could have been with those two eagle putts it’s so good to see really um we’ve talked about it all week opening 60465 and these guys are fearless he is feeling it too certainly

Taking advantage of a golf course that is now playing more or more than four shots under par through the first two two days at the top of the board now instead of hit range shots you stock shot you trying to be more creative MC Dunlap our

Leader do see the T1 though we’ll tell you be the first man to get to 20 under the 20-year-old is 20 [Applause] under yeah and he’s to me has got the right mentality as I as I mentioned you know you you go 64 you put a wedge in these kids hands

They just knock them down and he just won’t quit this is fun to watch folks wouldn’t expect him to miss this with the Run he on making it look simple it’s been as close to perfect as you could possibly be T left now for birdie at the first it’s incredible to watch this

Young man putt it is a bucket Nick Dunlap his second on the par three third taking plenty of Loft throwing it into the side of the Hill there and having it kick down to about got this aimed just left of center looks like right in the middle hasn’t made a bogey turn that

Around this year over to the KE Country Club dlps second at the fourth again not a long hole just 384 yards the whole location is over on the left hello hello 10 ft back over to linta this to get it to 23 under yeah said 10 ft it’s more like

Five six automatic Randle par five fifth at Lita with the leader short hold is 516 we’ll have more than enough horsepower to get there in two yeah down the right side just pins all the way over on the right so another birdie try for the leader Dunlap a nice little pitch

There showing no nerves and now a three shot lead for the 20-year-old at L Country Club and the second here at the par five for Dunlap the leader yeah pins over on the left out of the right rough see if he can get enough Club on it to get there yes he

Does how about ho high and then some he’s going to have a good look at Eagle oh man all right back over to six at L this for eagle dlap and a five shot lead count it again five shot lead the biggest lead by an Amer ever on the PGA

Tour dlap from the Fairway this for 59 right down Theo unlap for Birdie on the ninth this should be the second ever 60 by an Amer on the PGA tour yeah what a round by the 20-year-old Nick Dunlap a 60 he’s a 27 under currently leading by
