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.

From hunsville Alabama please welcome Nick [Applause] dorfy old sophomore at the University of Alabama he won the US Amer the US junor the Northeast am the North and South he’s a walker copper but winning a PGA Tour event John that is downright Historic next on the tea from shreport Louisiana please welcome Sam bur get the right distance with the high he tough to work with distance that’s a very good shot going be a quip strike down the hill how’s this distance control go very good it’s all right yes indeed

And I like what he did there he was a little concerned with what was left of this flag so to open up that right hand flag takes a lot of discipline I mean I know that was an awkward stance and line everything else so much speed watching

Him hit these little shots on the Range he he slows it down and dials it in really impressive I would say so look at this a kick in to get to 28 under and it flipped pretty quickly didn’t it if he had to lay up and he s

JT and S burs with irons and that’s fantastic and John’s so right with the wedge game DJ even Justin Thomas was about the slowing down the arm swing which then controls the spin and you know you got the nerves in the adrenaline that one bounced just at the end of The

Fringe yeah one is by an uncomfortable length that was a lot of Fringe and Shadow Over the Hole too can be a little disconcerting is you went in with confidence and Pace yeah and now if you’re Nick dlap right now you need a case of amnesia for what happened back at the

7th it’s a new game now reset and move forward a textbook there you had to really tip your cat to him you know after that what looked like kind of a shank off 17 what about back this would be not much breaking this putt here straight back up the

Hill Nick Dunlap not going away not going to give this thing away easily a clutch is that he’s been using that cutter for years um looks like he’s going right at it [Applause] very very nice an aggressive play that’s a heck of a shot look at this contact I

Mean he had all kinds of things that uh it make you just be a little imprecise you know ball below his feet it it looked like it was sitting in sort of a rake Ridge certainly didn’t look to be setting great what a bow oh we saw his college

Coach JC will is here and he’s stand standing by with steeper well there’s a ridge that bisect the screen 101 carries that Ridge as wood he mentioned that last third of the green runs away from the player 108 total flights it down this is definitely going to have some

Spin yeah there it is beautiful 15 20 25 ft short R of the flag is what you’re looking for good one very good good for weight as they like to [Applause] say yes on a very good line if it’s enough oh yeah wavered by his walk or anything

Like that he is stayed in the moment keeping through his routine even though things aren’t going his way look at’s got that made some big pots hasn’t he yeah he does he’s got that onew putting stroke you know just pop so full of confidence back on the 15th

Dunlap struggled to find the Fairway today one back you’d love to work this ball from left to right Fairway slops in that direction as well this is a pearl here for Dunlap our trackman Tracer technology as that splits the Fairway on 15 you know that might just be the swing

That puts him right back even brandle could see the flag stick from here right in the center of the Fairway oh yeah right there kisses the stay what a show we’re seeing obvious early with some mistakes but to see him come back with that birdie at three that

Shot from the right bunker at the 10 that backed up birdie at the at the 14th and then this shot right down the [Applause] pipe J Sewell was you know last night talking to Bentley Roma just talking to him oh yeah easy easy oh yeah has not been intimidated all day long oh

Yeah two from about 10 ft away after Burns he made his I mean right on top of burns at the 14th Burns not making birdie here that buts a tie for the lead eight yards to play with pass that if adrenaline comes into it but nowhere right of the middle of this

Green and if it fades it fades right okay e come on come on come on excellent not quite done history in the desert for the first time since 1991 and Amer is won on the PGA tour Nick Dunlap wins the American Express wow [Applause] thanks for watching the PGA Tour on
