Dufner completes PGA Grand Slam of Golf line up
By: Owen Davies | Thu 15 Aug 2013
Jason Dufner lost a sizeable lead and a major championship two years ago, but erased that disappointment at 
renowned Oak Hill Country Club to capture the 95th PGA Championship. Dufner became the final member of the game’s elite foursome to qualify for the 31st PGA Grand Slam of Golf, Oct. 15-16, at Port Royal Golf Course in Southampton, Bermuda.
Dufner, who posted a final-round 2-under-par 68 for a two-stroke victory, joins Masters Champion Adam Scott, U.S. Open Champion Justin Rose and Open Champion Phil Mickelson in the 2013 PGA Grand Slam of Golf. Two years after losing to Keegan Bradley in a playoff in the 93rd PGA Championship at Atlanta Athletic Club,Dufner got his redemption with a two-stroke victory over Jim Furyk at 10-under- par. Dufner entered the final round trailing Furyk by a stroke, but was nearly flawless when it counted most. On the weekend, he made just two bogeys in his final 28 holes – those coming on the last two holes.
The PGA Grand Slam of Golf, the season-ending showcase event that boasts the most difficult qualification
requirement in the game – a major championship – will be televised by TNT to a worldwide audience. The PGA Grand Slam of Golf features a $1.35 million purse, with the winner receiving $600,000, second place $300,000,

TNT’s prime time broadcast of the event reaches a worldwide audience of 88.9 million U.S. homes and international
viewers in more than 100 countries.

par-71 public facility that opened for play in 1970, and the Fairmont Southampton Hotel.
