Former Auburn golfers Jason Dufner and Patton Kizzire will compete in the World Golf Championships-Dell Match Play starting today at Austin Country Club in Austin, TX.
Dufner, a fan favorite on the tour and 2013 PGA Champion, has started the year well, including winning the CareerBuilder Challenge back in January in La Quinta, CA by four strokes over David Lingmerth.
Kizzire, though, is the great underdog story, as his No. 65 player ranking got him into the championship match play after two players withdrew. The 6’5, 210 lbs. lanky golfer graduated from Auburn in 2008, and immediately turned pro, spending his time on the Web.
