Early years
Born in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, Dunlap grew up in Sarasota, Florida.[1] The valedictorian of the class of 1981 at Sarasota High School, he accepted an athletic scholarship to attend the University of Florida in Gainesville, where he played for the Florida Gators men's golf team in NCAA competition from 1982 to 1985.[2] During his 1985 senior season, the Gators won the Southeastern Conference (SEC) team championship, and Dunlap was recognized as a first-team All-SEC selection, an All-American, and the Golf Week Male Amateur of the Year.[2][3]
While at Florida, he became a member of Delta Tau Delta fraternity.[4] Dunlap graduated from Florida with a bachelor's degree in finance in 1986, the same year his younger sister, Page Dunlap, won the individual NCAA Women's Golf Championship while playing for the Florida Gators women's golf team.

His best finishes on PGA Tour were a trio of tied for third places: 1996 Bell Canadian Open, 1999 Doral-Ryder Open, and 2000 The Players Championship and his best finish on the year-end money list was 44th in 2000.
