Jason Dufner wins first major at US PGA as Adam Scott fades to fifth Jason Dufner celebrates after winning the US PGA Championship at Oak Hill. AMERICAN journeyman Jason Dufner has put on a ball-striking masterclass to clinch the years final major, the US PGA Championship at Oak Hill Country Club in New York. In a classic final-day shootout, Dufner shot a superb 2-under 68 to prevail by two strokes over fellow American Jim Furyk (71). Dufner finished at 10-under par. It was redemption for the 36-year-old from Alabama. Two years ago, Dufner lost a playoff for the PGA Championship to Keegan Bradley after surrendering a five-shot lead with four holes to play. Henrik Stenson (70) finished outright third at 7-under, which was one better than fellow Swede Jonas Blixt (70). Masters champion Adam Scott had a topsy-turvey day, shooting an even-par 70 to tie for fifth alongside Scott Piercy (65), who posted the day's lowest round. Compatriot Jason Day made a final-round charge to shoot 67. He had seven birdies in 10 holes and threatened to join the list of players to shoot 63 in a major. But three bogeys over the closing holes left him in a tie for eighth at 3-under. Another stroke behind in a tie for 12th was another Australian Marc Leishman (68). The charge of defending PGA champion Rory McIlroy (70) ended when the Northern Irishman's ball fed back off the front of the fifth green into the water hazard, leading to a triple-bogey 7. He eventually tied for eighth with his only top-10 in a major this year. The major drought of Tiger Woods (70) will now stretch into a sixth year after a disappointing four days. Following a commanding victory last week, the world No.1 couldn't break par in a single outing around Oak Hill's East Course. Scott was aiming to become the first Australian male to win two majors in a calendar year. While Scott made 18 birdies for the week, he also dropped 13 shots.
