Dufner fires a 63 for Wells Fargo lead
Jason Dufner’s game was going nowhere, so he changed everything from his swing coach to his equipment to his caddy. It didn’t get any better. He at least is starting to see signs of it coming together with an 8-under 63 on Friday in the Wells Fargo Championship in Charlotte, N.C., matching his career-low score on the PGA Tour and giving him a one-shot lead going into the weekend at Quail Hollow. Dufner considers it the best two rounds he’s put together since the 2017 Memorial, which also is the last time he had a 36-hole lead. Dufner was at 11-under 131, one shot better than Joel Dahmen (66) and Max Homa (63). Rory McIlroy (70) and Patrick Reed (69) were tied for fourth at 6-under 136.
