Nick Dunlap put himself in some rarified air this weekend at the American Express Championships in La Quinta, California. He shot 29-under par for the weekend, becoming the first amateur golfer to win on the PGA Tour since Phil Mickelson did it in 1991. Alabama men’s golf made sure to tweet out a message of congrats to him on the historic feat.

Plenty of his relatives were in attendance and got to celebrate the big win with him. You can also see the reaction of his teammates on Alabama golf, and they went wild as you might expect.
