Jason Dufner never lost sight of the big picture even after losing a big lead. It paid off when he made a 32-foot par putt on the final hole that wrapped up his victory Sunday at the Memorial Tournament presented by Nationwide.
Dufner lost a five-shot lead in the third round. He started the final round facing a four-shot deficit. And then he played his best golf on the back nine, and kept his composure during two rain delays, to close with a 4-under 68 and win by three shots.
"Yesterday was not my best day," Dufner said of his 77. "But I had to get over it quick. It's a 72-hole tournament, there's a lot of things that can happen out there. I knew I was still in the mix."
