Jason Dufner leaves patrons in disbelief over changes

When describing Jason Duf­ner, it might be easier to start with what hasn’t changed.

Physically, he’s lost 20 pounds, he tweeted Jan. 20, primarily through a diet that’s cut out sugar and gluten. He also cut off a lot of his previously long hair.

Privately, Dufner recently got divorced from his wife, Amanda.

This week, as Dufner has played practice rounds and gone through the Par-3 Con­test, many patrons have been stunned by his transformation.

“You know, he doesn’t even look like Jason Dufner,” one patron said.

“That ain’t Dufner …” said another patron before walking closer to the ropes to get a look.

“He doesn’t even look like the same dude,” another said.

A year ago, Dufner missed a Masters cut for the first time, going 10-over. He made it through the weekend in his other three Masters starts, but he has yet to finish the tournament under par.
