Dufnering and Dispute

Likewise, the term originated in March 2013 after a photo of him slumping went viral.

He was visiting a youth center in Irving, Texas, during that time, and soon his teammates were quick to mock the golfer with the nickname “Dufnering.”

Soon the term became popular on Twitter. Also, in November 2017, Jason got into a Twitter dispute with Golf Channel analyst Brandel Chamblee.

The conflict started after Chamblee reportedly offended Dufner’s swing coach, Chuch Cook. As a result, Chamblee ended up blocking the major champion.
