It’s a good thing they don’t play golf tournaments at night, or PGA Championship winner Jason Dufner might have had to skip an entire round last month.
Dufner sent out no less than 13 Tweets from his Twitter account in a 2-1/2 hour time span during the NFL Draft on May 8 as he anxiously awaited the first-round picks of his beloved Cleveland Browns.
Lobbying for Cleveland to draft polarizing quarterback Johnny Manziel, the former Texas A&M star who won the 2013 Heisman Trophy as a freshman, Dufner repeatedly posted composite photos of “Johnny Football” wearing a Browns jersey as he begged the team to draft the quarterback.
“I hope Manziel does well because he’s an exciting player and they need that. I don’t know him (personally) but what I know about him, I think he has a chance,” Dufner told the media in front of The Memorial Tournament this past week in Dublin, Ohio. “I’m one of those fans who’s on the fence about the Browns right now. I don’t know if they’re worth too much more of my time. I hope they turn it around, but I don’t know.”
Dufner was born in Cleveland and lived there until he was 11.
