Cool, calm Dufner rebounds for big Memorial win

DUBLIN, Ohio – Jason Dufner built a five-shot lead through 36 holes and lost it five holes into his third round.

He turned in one of the highest Saturday rounds anyone has ever posted on the PGA Tour and still gone on to win.

And he rallied back from three down in the final round and waited out two separate weather delays to finally take the Memorial Tournament.

Dufner birdied the 17th hole and jarred a 33-foot putt for par on the final green at Muirfield Village on Sunday to win by three over Anirban Lahiri and his playing partner and friend Rickie Fowler.
