Jason Dufner is picking up where he left off last season.
The 44-year-old Dufner capped his previous campaign with four straight top-30 finishes and 11 of 16 rounds in the 60s. While he didn’t qualify for the FedExCup Playoffs, at No. 154 in points, he hasn’t appeared to have lost momentum.
His 5-under 67 Thursday in Napa, California, has the former PGA champ just two shots off the lead at the Fortinet Championship.
So, what’s been the key?
“Firm and fast is always kind of in my wheelhouse,” said Dufner, who tied for 29th last fall at Silverado Resort.
