Is there a bigger choke job/sellout in the game of golf right now. He's blown multiple tournaments over the last few years, not to mention his performance in the ryder cup last year was a huge contributor to them losing the cup. He also looks like a walking billboard with all of the cheap advertisement all over him.

And he would give you 18 and beat you like a red headed stepchild.

his swing relies on timing more than the average swing, when there's pressure his timing gets off.

lol, not many on the tour don't these days.

Its hard to really like Furyk even versus someone as stoic as Dufner, but you can't hate the guy, IMO.

You are completely wrong right now.

He did not choke. He played well today. Dufner played great and won it. Choking is what Duff did a few years back. Furyk didn't choke.

Dufner went out and won this golf tournament.

Furyk finished bogey-bogey because he had to try to pull off hero shots because at that point, Dufner was -4 on his round

Furyk did not do enough to win, but he by no means choked. He made some great shots and some clutch putts.

One reason a player like Furyk has advertisements like that is because he doesn't want to be tied down to one main brand and have to use 10 to 14 of their clubs and a certain type of ball. He can use whatever he wants. This week he had Callaway, Ping, and Titleist in the bag. In the past he has also used many different balls like Taylormade, Callaway, Titleist, and Srixon.

It is actually pretty smart. Rory Mcilroy had to ditch all of his Titleist clubs and balls because of Nike. Tell me who is the sell out now...

It wasn't as bad as his 2012 US Open.
