Hello and welcome to golf destination I’m your host Meredith Corman the Northeast Amateur is widely regarded as one of the best amateur tournaments in the United States Don coin Recaps the 2023 Edition day one of the 61st annual Northeast Amer part of the elite Amer series a series won last year in its
Inaugural season by Tennessee’s Caleb Sarat I play well here I played I played well last year I just I just feel really comfortable just kind of plot my way around this golf course and yeah the elite Amer series now in its second year has definitely driven demand from the
Players um you know it was easier for me this year to fill the field than it has been in the past not that there’s a shortage of folks wanting to play but you know to get the strongest field possible was was easier this year and I think that’s a direct result of the
Series that we’ve created and and the opportunities that the series has presented these players and this is a big event in in the global golf world and you know these guys are taking it very seriously joining rat who was the sixth ranked amiter in the world in that
Final group of the third round was the 11th World ranked Luke Clanton from Florida State The Good Buddies ideal playing Partners yeah it was fun it just puts both of us in a mentality where we can both you know keep our head down but also stay free out there you know it
Feels like when we’re in between shots we can talk but uh I think we’re both really good at putting our heads down and doing our work when it when the time calls for it he’s such a good player out there so playing with him seeing those
Shots it kind of gives me a little bit of confidence boost as well so all of us are playing the biggest amateur events in the world so to be in contention of winning one is pretty cool Clinton three back after the third round but that was only tied for second US Open participant
And 15th World ranked amateur Nick Dunlap the former US Junior Champion also nine under after a six under 63 Caleb’s an amazing player he’s he’s done a lot of great things and a birdie for Sarat on the first Dunlap also with a birdie on the first and then another on
The par 3/3 to get within two Sarat though would be four up on Dunlap at the turn ju just stick to my game plan um you know I played well in the front and just had two three putts um you know I figured if I could if I could get the t-
Box hit a couple Fairways um make a couple putts you never know golf’s really hard satat would bogey the 12th the first of three straight Bogies my weaknesses were shown down the stretch and uh I’m going to get better from that so Dunlap a birdie on 14 to tie for the
Lead at 11 under and it’s stayed that way after Sarat missed a birdie on 18 Dunlap didn’t winning it with an 18-footer yes the University of Alabama golfer with a perfect roll to win the Northeast Roll Tide or what Roll Tide absolutely roll time Dunlap would win by
Two just eight days after playing in the US Open feels great I actually wasn’t going to play this event um I was I was out in LA and it was just a it was a lot to play get from LA to here um had a couple guys convince me you know heard
The golf course was really good tournament was unbelievable um I’m I’m glad I went and played you know Nick’s an amazing player who you can’t give shots like that to and he’s going to be very successful on the PJ tour and he’s going to be he’s going to be around for
A long time so I’m just going to try and stay in company with him for golf destination I’m Don coin reporting
