Is Dufner playing less than holes than anybody else at the moment?

He seems to be on a different planet, when Woods was performing like this we were all in awe of him.

Two wins in three outings then the halfway lead the following week........amazing!

They showed some stats today on Sky Sports.

Between 2004 & 2010 Dufner had never won a tourney and only finished 2nd once and had 10 top 20 places and won just over $4m in that 6 year period.

Since the beginning of 2011 he has won 2 events, finished 2nd twice, had 10 top 20 places and won over $6m

They guy is on fire at the moment

I don't want to count my chickens as we all know funny things can happen in sport, but it looks like a two horse race heading into the final round.

If that's the case then I'm in a strange position as I've backed Zach Johnson to win this week, but as a few of you know I'm on Jason Dufner to win the Money List at 200/1 and a win here puts him almost 1 million dollars in front.

I think probably best for me would be Zach winning and Dufner second as I'd win this week and Duffers must rake in about half a million for second, but then if he lost out on the money list at the end of the year by a few hundred thousand dollars I'd always think back to this event.

Anyway whatever happens as long as one of them wins tonight it's going to be good news, just hope no strange upset is lurking. Doubt it, but you just never know.

Well done to Zach backers...He was a bit short for me at the start of the week but has proved to be top quality. I think he'll get the job done tonight so have had some on him at evens before final round. One of the coolest heads on tour and Dufner is someone who hasn't coped particularly well with the lead in the past. 3 wins in 4 starts is also a huge ask. Am hoping this is Zach's week now

Dufner is hitting the ball sweeter than anyone right now. It just goes to show how much your mental state is in a game like this. He's been in a major play-off, had his first win, married a stunner. The guy's feeling good about himself right now, and look at the effect on his game?

Never understimate the mental aspect!

That said, Johnson looks to be buzzing right now as well. His body language says a lot about him, and he's gunning for this tournament which he ran away with before. He loves playing round here and that shows in his game.

Never underestimate Positive Mental Association!

It's between these two for sure. If I had to choose one, I think Johnson is best poised to come from behind, but it's anyone's really.

I think Dufner just ran out of steam at the end. He's had a hectic few weeks what with winning twice, getting married and then going close again. Probably just all caught up with him.

He might be one to avoid if he's playing this week as he might need a fortnight off or strange as it may seem even a missed cut and a weekend off could do him some good.

Reckon the bookies took a lot of money on Zach Johnson so it will not have been a good tournament for them.

I managed to get 20/1 on B/Fair for Zach to win. Well done to Drobgod, Phildean, Aubreyhoney, Rockon and Jimmy for also selecting him to win Win

Nice win for quite a few on here with Johnson by the looks of it.
Blanks faded badly for me to make the Top20 after making the cut but Kirk shot a really good -5 on the last day to finish T5th so the 9/1 on offer for his Top 20 was as said way overpriced

Very pleased with a win and a place on John Huh this week.

Well done to all who got some money back this week. Win

John Daly made a 18 once on a hole at golf.

Afterwards he was interviewed and the guy asked "So John you made 18 on that hole, how did that happen?"

Johns response....

"I missed a 3 footer coming back for 17"

LEGEND!
