\"\"August 13, 2013 –<\/strong> The Titleist<\/strong> staff player Jason Dufner<\/strong> produced a brilliant final round to win his first Major title at the US PGA Championship<\/a> <\/strong>in the Oak Hill Country Club<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The American, who equalled the lowest score in Major history with a second round 63, carded a closing 68 despite dropping shots at the final two holes, the 36 year old finishing ten under par.<\/p>\n

It was a final round built on some sublime approach play, with close iron shots leading to birdies from four feet at the fourth, and inches on the fifth, eighth and 16th \u2013 where his pitch almost spun back into the cup.<\/p>\n

The victory also banished memories of Dufner\u2019s play-off defeat to Keegan Bradley<\/strong> in this event two years ago, when he had led by five with four holes to play.<\/p>\n

Overnight leader Jim Furyk<\/strong> also bogeyed the 17th and 18th to finish two behind, with Sweden’s Henrik Stenson<\/strong> claiming outright third on seven under to go with his runner-up finish in The Open Championship at Muirfield.<\/p>\n

“It probably has not sunk in,”<\/em> Jason Dufner<\/strong> said. “I can’t believe this is happening to me. To come back from a couple of years ago when I lost in a play-off feels really, really good.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

“I decided that I was going to be confident and put my best foot forward and play aggressively to try to win this thing. The last two holes were a little unfortunate but I am happy to get the job done and it’s a big step in my career.”<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Stenson moved to within a shot of the lead with a 15 foot eagle on the fourth and was only two behind when he birdied the 13th, but he crucially bogeyed the short par four 14th after hitting his second shot from a divot into a greenside bunker.<\/p>\n
