A Busy Month For Jason Dufner

If you were to ask Pro Golfer Jason Dufner what he has accomplished in the past month, he would probably shrug his shoulders and tell you, "nothing much". In reality, it has probably been the busiest month of his life, but you could never tell it by his demeanor.

The 35 year old golfer from Cleveland, Ohio has been a busy man, winning two Professional Golf  Tournaments, and getting married. The winning golf tournament part has seen him climb into first place in the Fed-Ex Cup points, and 3rd on the Money List. He is also ranked at 14 in the World Golf Rankings.

After wining the Zurich Classic of New Orleans on the last weekend of April, he won The Byron Nelson Championship two weeks later. He had a disappointing 68th place finish at the Players Championship sandwiched in between. Oh! By the way, that was the week he got married. I can't imagine my wife letting me play golf on our honeymoon, but I'm guessing the $19,000 check came in handy.

The Marriage part interests me in that Dufner, being an Auburn grad and his new wife Amanda being a University of Alabama alum. I'm wondering how many Iron Bowls this new marriage can handle. In Alabama, this is considered an inter-racial marriage.

Jason Dufner has opened the Crowne Plaza Invitational, in Ft. Worth, Texas on Thursday with a 5 under par 65, one stroke behind first round tournament leader Zach Johnson, and tied with three other golfers. Dufner posted his score  in the afternoon session after the wind picked up. He will get an early tee time this morning, and Johnson will have to face the Texas sized breeze this afternoon.
