225: Jason Dufner Interview: Chipping Tips, Dealing With Yips, and 😂 Vijah Singh Stories

On this episode, Smylie Kaufman sits down with Jason Dufner for a conversation about his incredible golf journey, from his humble beginnings as a walk-on at Auburn to his triumph at Oak Hill in the 2013 PGA Championship.

Jason goes in-depth on his putting “yips” and the work he’s done with a Navy SEAL, exchanging stories with Smylie about the mental side of professional golf. He also shares some chipping/pitching tips he’s learned from observing the game’s best, and tells some hilarious Vijay Singh practice round stories.
