Dylan Wu (born July 26, 1996) is an American professional golfer.
College career
[edit]Wu played college golf for the Northwestern Wildcats, winning three individual tournaments in four years.[1] He and the 2017–18 Northwestern golf team played in the 2018 NCAA Division I Men's Golf Championship, but they were eliminated in the team competition.[2]
Professional career
[edit]Wu turned professional at the conclusion of his college career and joined the third-tier PGA Tour Canada.[3] He earned limited status on the Korn Ferry Tour for 2019 by reaching the final stage of Q School. In June 2019 his status yielded a start in the Lincoln Land Championship, in which he finished second, losing in a playoff to Zhang Xinjun. This result enabled him to play on the Korn Ferry Tour for the rest of the season;[4] he finished 72nd on the regular-season points list, earning a spot in the Korn Ferry Tour Finals and fully-exempt status for the 2020 season.
On June 8, 2021, Wu qualified at the Woodmont Country Club in Rockville, Maryland for the 2021 U.S. Open.[5]
