Dufner no duffer, makes Auburn proud  | ajc.com - Doug Roberson

excerpt ..
Who is this sleepy-eyed unknown tied atop the leaderboard at the PGA Championship?
He's no duffer, he's Dufner, as in Jason, an Auburn grad (Class of 2000) who loves the Tigers. He loves them so much his goal each year has been to make enough money during the summer so he can take the rest of the fall off and follow the football team.
He shot 68 on Saturday, with four birdies and two bogeys, and was 7 under for the tournament. He hit 17 of 18 greens in regulation. If he can string together one more good round at the Atlanta Athletic Club, he will make enough money in earnings and endorsements to gold-plate the ailing oaks at Toomer's Corner
"I've stayed in the Auburn area for the last 13 years," he said. "I've got a lot of ties there."
