Dufner has lead all to himself at PGA Championship
JOHNS CREEK, Ga. (AP) Jason Dufner has never won a tour event. He's trying to hang on at the PGA Championship. Dufner has a one-stroke lead over Keegan Bradley with six holes to play Sunday, rolling in a 15-foot birdie putt at the 12th to reclaim the outright lead at Atlanta Athletic Club. The 34-year-old Dufner, who lives two hours away in Auburn, Ala., heard chants of "War Eagle" as he kept up his steady play. He started with five straight pars before a birdie at the sixth, a short par-4. He rolled in a 20-footer at No. 8 for another birdie and made the turn with a two-stroke lead. Bradley briefly claimed a share of the lead at the 12th, sticking a 7-iron to 2 feet and tapping in for eagle. Robert Karlsson also made an eagle at the 12th and was two shots off the lead.
