Adam Scott's soon-to-be-illegal putter is on fire.  -5 thru 10 before the rains came.

Speaking of things that are smoking hot...Mrs Dufner!

For sake of correctness, Mrs Limey was also happy to see how Mrs Dufner looked.  She was thankful that she wasn't, for once, a bleached blond plastic barbie.

That was the most boring major in quite some time.

I wanted to smack Furyk upside the head. Putt the damn ball already! I saw enough of him stepping back from putts when he was collapsing in last year's Ryder Cup.

And yet he waltzes up on 18 and just chips the damn ball anywhere.

Maybe for JoeTV Viewer, but I found watching Dufner hit those tiny ass fairways (avg 27 paces wide) like it was as natural as breathing, then hitting laser after laser into the greens was one hell of a sight to behold.  It certainly did not have the drama of The Scott/Cabrera Masters or the Mickeltits comeback/flyby at Muirfield or the Justin Rose back nine at Merion, but what it lacked in flair it more than made up for in individual performance.  You saw what Tiger used to do on Major Sundays from Jason freaking Dufner.  If the guy was tour average from 5 feet he would win multiple times a year, routinely.  This was one of the most competely satisfying years I have ever experienced watching majors.  Each and every man who won a major this year did so with a manner of class and general repect for the game that is worthy of applause.

Good God, don't get me started.  Every major in New York turns into a competition on who can be the biggest assclown.  At least nobody copied the asshole that yelled "YOU'RE NOT TIGER" to Chris Wood last week at Firestone...

Is Howard Stern supposed to be funny or do people listen to him for some other reason?

I enjoyed watching Dufner do exactly what he needed to do to win. sporadic said it before I saw this but that's what Tiger did in all but a handful of Sundays.

His wedge play was magnificent. Watching the rhythm of those swings was mesmerizing.

And his pre-swing routine is crazy. That set-up is as kooky as his swing is sweet.

I have no idea how he can hit the ball without any pause for set-up.  His stance is just sooooo rock solid (and quite narrow, IMHO) that he can do something that would have me spraying the ball so much I'd get kicked off a putt-putt course, let alone a championship 18.

Amazing control and mechanics.  Maybe this is what he's practicing here.

I haven't seen any photos yet, but I suppose the new "Dufnering" will be the sheepish, two-armed fist pump. 

It was real nice seeing him answer the pressure, shot after shot.

It's akin to planking, per the photo on the link.
