Jason Dufner sank a sensational 25-feet birdie putt on the 18th hole to win the 2012 HP Byron Nelson Championship at the TPC Four Seasons Resort in Irving, Texas.

Dufner shot a three-under-par 67 today to finish with a total of 11-under-par for the tournament and take the winner's $1.17 million paycheck and earn his second win in three weeks. He won the Zurich Classic of New Orleans on April 29. 

Dickey Pride finished in solo second place at 10-under-par, and then there was a four-way tie for third place at nine-under-par between Jonas Blixt, Joe Durant, J.J. Henry and Marc Leishman.

Pride's approach shot went to the top-right side of the green just over 22 feet from the cup and from there he was able to make the par-saving putt and take the clubhouse lead at 10-under-par.

But Dufner, who hit the ball beautifully all day, then ripped a confident-looking, massive 314-yard tee shot on the 18th hole right on the middle of the fairway. From there his approach shot was almost identical to Pride's as he left it on the same top-right hand corner about 25feet away.

He proceeded to sink the birdie putt and take the championship. Dufner really went for the championship and is playing his best golf.
