Dufner equals record to lead way at Oak Hill

Jason Dufner shot himself into the golfing record books at the PGA Championship last night with a second-round of 63, equalling the lowest score ever carded in Major championship history.

The eight-under-par round at Oak Hill matched that scored by 23 different players in the majors and gave the 36-year-old American a one-shot clubhouse lead as the second round drew towards a close in Rochester, although Dufner missed a birdie putt at the last that would have given him a record-breaking 62.

Meanwhile Masters champion Adam Scott accepts he will have to putt better this weekend if he wants to add a second Major of the year to his resumé with victory tomorrow night at the PGA Championship.
