Jason Dufner had every reason in the world to go into the tank in 2011 after blowing a final-round lead in the PGA Championship and losing in a playoff to Keegan Bradley. But after missing a pair of cuts, he finished the year this way: T31, T6, T13, T10, T10. That strong finish should have been an indication of what was to come for Dufner. And when he built on that to post a two-win season in 2012,...
