Despite his impassive demeanor, Dufner is a man who clearly appreciates a good joke. This season the Titleist player gained worldwide notoriety following an awkward pose that went viral and began the “Dufnering” craze of 2013. While the 36-year-old must surely have been pleased to be invited to play at this week’s Northwestern Mutual World Challenge, he’s been vocal on Twitter about what it’s costing him, the chance to watch his beloved Auburn in the SEC title game on Saturday.
After being denied a request to Tiger Woods to squeeze the four-day tournament into two 36-hole rounds, Dufner declared he would be taking the Caddyshack route come Saturday.
It could be a Caddyshack kinda day, Saturday in Thousand Oaks. Let's dance ! pic.twitter.com/DoPChMSJ3c
