Zurich Classic Might be Just What Jason Dufner Needs to Get Back on Track
7 years agoJason Dufner comes into the Zurich Classic having missed three of his last four cuts, with a 64th-place finish at the Houston Open sprinkled into the mix. Dufner, who is in need of a complete turnaround, will team up with Pat Perez for the team event. Perez comes into the tournament having missed two consecutive cuts himself, but the duo exhibit qualities that make it seem like they will be the perfect fit together. Both players are over the age of 40 and exude a down-to-earth presence on the course, and even though they come into the event struggling, it feels like the ideal environment to crack some of their usual jokes in a less-pressured setting. Dufner has experience at this event, finishing tied for fifth last year with his partner Patton Kizzire. Perez's more efficient putting mixed in with Dufner's potential to heat up with his irons may help the pair find a collective rhythm.
