The PGA Championship 2013: Twitter Reacts to End-of-Day 4 Leaderboard

Jason Dufner won the 2013 PGA Championship at 10 under par Sunday. Despite bogeying both 17 and 18, Dufner managed to hold on for his first career major championship and cap off what was nothing short of a magical day at Oak Hill.

Here's what the Twittersphere had to say about it.



Dufner was magnificent, using an opening-round 68 and a second-round 63 to reach a score of nine-under par through two rounds. Just as his dream was set to become a reality, however, Dufner posted a third-round 71 and temporarily lost his lead.

With a dominant fourth round, those concerns were put to rest and a new champion was born.



Perhaps it should.

Dufner made three birdies on the front nine to no bogeys, also sinking a birdie putt on 16. Even with bogeys on 17 and 18, the lead was preserved. Dufner simply needed to avoid a legendary collapse to hold on for the title.

That's exactly what he did.

Dufner may not have been a popular choice to win it all before the tournament had commenced, but we shouldn't be so surprised. This may have been his first career major championship, but the PGA Championship has been a welcome destination for the less accomplished golfers of the world.

Dufner simply continued a trend in 2013.



Yang Yong-eun, Martin Kaymer and Keegan Bradley were the other three. None have won a major championship since.

Whether or not Dufner will break that trend is soon to be seen.

If that's not enough for you, try the fact that the PGA Tour has failed to produce a true superstar since Tiger Woods forgot how to be himself. Some have risen, but every power who comes to pass seems to crash down soon after.

Just check the numbers.



That's not it.



In other words, the day of golf dynasties are over—albeit temporarily.
