Dufner claims USPGA title

American Jason Dufner tonight claimed his first major title after surviving a nervous finish in the 95th US PGA Championship at Oak Hill.

Dufner, who equalled the lowest score in major history with a second-round 63, carded a closing 68 despite dropping shots at the final two holes, the 36-year-old finishing 10 under par.

Overnight leader Jim Furyk also bogeyed the 17th and 18th to finish two behind, Sweden's Henrik Stenson claiming outright third on seven under to go with his runners-up finish in the Open Championship at Muirfield.
