After Photo Goes Viral, 'Dufnering' Becomes a Thing HUMBLE, Tex. - Everywhere you looked at the Houston Open, golfers were holding their poses Friday. Not their follow-throughs after textbook swings but their imitations of their fellow touring professional Jason Dufner. In a photograph taken of the laconic Dufner during a school appearance Thursday, he is shown seated on the floor with elementary school children, with his back against the wall and his hands at his side. His hair is disheveled and his expression is downtrodden. Keegan Bradley, who defeated Dufner in a playoff at the 2011 P.G.A. Championship, found the photo and posted it on Twitter Thursday night. He awoke Friday morning to find the picture had spread far and wide, with players like Luke Donald and Rory McIlroy posting photographs of themselves mimicking Dufner, or Dufnering, as it is now known. "I woke up and I'm getting Tweets and thousands of pictures and responses," Bradley said. Referring to the original, he added, "Every time I looked at it I laughed harder than I did the first time." McIlroy, who is one under after 36 holes, said he burst out laughing when he saw the picture that Bradley posted. "It's the best thing ever," McIlroy said. I've never had so much entertainment. He added: "The laughs, it's just so much. The first thing I said to Keegan, I saw him this morning, was, "This is the best thing I've ever seen." " McIlroy and Bradley, who is four under for the tournament, were paired together in the first two rounds. Rounding out their threesome was Dustin Johnson. Before they teed off, Bradley, Johnson and their fellow United States Ryder Cup team member Brandt Snedeker sat side-by-side-by-side and Dufnered. "I don't know where Keegan keeps finding these pictures of Dufner," said Snedeker, who was one over after 36. He said Dufner's expression called to mind a child that had just been put in a timeout. Snedeker and Bradley floated the idea of Dufnering at Augusta National in two weeks during the Masters, although it could be tricky since sitting on the grass on the course is frowned upon.
