Dufner keen to put Atlanta collapse in the past

JASON DUFNER is keen to dispel the funereal air surrounding him following last weekend’s USPGA Championship play-off defeat.

The American, who lost a play-off to Keegan Bradley at the Atlanta Athletic Club, has expressed his surprise that those around him have been so sullen following his superb performance in Georgia.

Dufner makes an immediate return to action at the Sedgefield Country Club in Greensboro, North Carolina today and is in good spirits.
