Default Jason Dufner

I don't think I have ever seen a guy win a major tournament and show absolutely no emotion...barely even cracked a smile! I would be jumping through hoops and doing cartwheels! He had a look on his face throughout the entire trophy presentation like his cat died...hardly even acknowledged the crowd, if at all.

Weird...considering what he just accomplished and won!

He is known as one of the most, if not the most unemotional golfer on tour. Although I agree one would expect a little more emotion for a major win.

My theory is he was distracted trying to figure out how many times the picture of him grabbing his wife's butt on national television was going to be replayed and commented on.

That's just his personality. He just doesn't show his emotions outwardly. I'm sure he's jumping up and down on the inside.

Golfers try very hard not to get too up or down over a shot or a hole and for some of them, that carries over into pretty much every thing they do.
