After shooting a record-tying 60 on Saturday at the American Express, in La Quinta California, Nick Dunlap backed it up on Sunday with a final round 2-under par 70, to become the first amateur to win on the PGA Tour since Phil Mickelson at the 1991 Northern Telecom Open.

Take a closer look at the gear Dunlap used to get the job done.

Driver: TaylorMade Qi10 LS, 9 degrees (ProjectX HZRDUS Smoke Green)

TaylorMade Qi10 LS Custom Driver

$629.99
Qi10 LS delivers a lower spin and lower launch that is engineered to optimize performance for fast swing speed players. With a deep face and a more compact overall head shape, it is the preferred driver for Team TaylorMade Tour athletes including Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy. NEW INFINITY CARBON CROWN An Infinity Carbon Crown covers 97% of the total crown area, creating a strategic advantage for mass redistribution and enhanced forgiveness. At address, it delivers a sleek and clean view that pairs with subtle alignment cues, setting the stage for confidence and success. REIMAGINED SLIDING WEIGHT DESIGN A new, more efficient moveable weight features an 18g steel sliding weight housed by an innovative track system. The redesigned structure allows the adjustable weight to move farther forward and lower compared to Stealth 2 Plus, resulting in a more forgiving low-spin experience.

3-wood: Ping G425 LST, 14.5 degrees

PING G425 LST Fairway Wood

$249.98
In the G425 fairway woods and hybrids, two shared PING innovations known as Facewrap Technology and Spinsistency combine to deliver more distance and spin predictability while offering numerous options to ensure proper gapping throughout a golfer’s bag. The fairway woods are also available in Max and SFT (Straight Flight Technology) to best match a golfer’s swing and launch conditions.

Utility: Srixon ZX, 3-iron (Project X HZRDUS Black hybrid shaft)

Srixon ZX MK II Custom Utility Iron

$239.99
ZX Mk II Utility replacement long Irons offer every player—even tour pros—more long-game power, control, and forgiveness in a blade-like design with minimal offset and narrow toplines. MAINFRAME MainFrame is a variable thickness pattern of grooves, channels, and cavities carefully milled into the backside of the Iron face that maximizes flex at impact. UTILITY IRON SHAPES Our widest soles, combined with minimal offset and an appealing look at address, makes our forgiving, hollow, ZX Mk II Utility long Irons professional favorites. FORGED MULTI-PIECE CONSTRUCTION ZX Utility’s forged SUP10 faces are strong yet light — increasing face-flex at impact for enhanced speed and distance — while a forged 1020 Carbon Steel body absorbs vibrations for a softer feel. SOLE NOTCHES Sole notches on the heel and toe sides lessen drag by reducing the amount of surface area that contacts the ground. Ultimately, they provide better clubhead speed through turf and improve shot versatility without sacrificing forgiveness.

These irons will celebrate all the work you’ve put in to get to this point and be the perfect tool for the continued grind. FORGING TOWARDS PERFECTION TaylorMade’s Compact Grain Forging™ process uses 2,000 tons of pressure, more than double the industry standard.

Wedges: TaylorMade MG3 (48), TaylorMade MG4 (52, 56, & 60), (True Temper Dynamic Gold Tour Issue S400 shafts)

TaylorMade Milled Grind 4 Custom Wedge

$179.99
Milled Grind 4 utilizes laser etched Spin Tread and a raw face to provide better bite around the greens and superior spin in wet conditions. Refined shaping creates a smooth aesthetic that inspires creativity around the greens, while improved mass distribution provides a solid feel. IMPROVED SPIN IN WET CONDITIONS Spin Tread technology utilizes laser etching to channel away moisture and help retain spin in wet conditions. The same way that tire treads help your car stay connected to the road, Spin Tread redirects water at impact and creates more friction between the club face and golf ball to impart more spin than prior generations. REFINED SHAPING MG4 features refinements in shape and visual appeal with a focus on what players perceive at address. Details from the hosel blend, offset and leading-edge straightness were all inspired by the insights and preferences of the best players and most experienced designers. Compared to the previous MG3, MG4 showcases a slightly larger footprint that provides players with a sense of roundness, smoothness and improved ease of use. RAW FACE & NEW FINISH There’s a reason raw wedges are preferred by the game’s best players. The unplated material will rust over time to preserve consistent spin while also delivering better performance in wet conditions. A new refined finish with a slightly darker tint minimizes glare and blends seamlessly with the raw face for a unified appearance.
