Jason Dufner did something memorable during the second round of the Masters on Friday: he showed some emotion.
Dufner, normally as reserved as the pines that line Augusta National’s course, pumped his fist after rolling in a 40-foot birdie putt on No. 11. It was one of six birdies that helped him reach 3 under heading into this weekend.
“I’ve got to get the putter going a little bit better,” Dufner said after needing 29 putts on Friday. He needed 30 on Thursday.
Dufner, an Auburn alum and fan, said if he can also straighten out his drives he’ll “be right where he wants to be” as he tries to win his first major. He lost a playoff to Keegan Bradley at the 2011 PGA Championship at the Atlanta Athletic Club.
