Keegan Bradley provided one of the most stunning comebacks in golfing major history when he caught Jason Dufner and then beat him in a playoff to claim the Wanamaker Trophy at the PGA Championship five years ago.
It was the first and only major victory for Bradley, who managed to erase a five-shot deficit with only three holes left to play in regulation at Atlanta Athletic Club. His effort was coupled with a meltdown by Dufner, who had three straight bogeys to force a playoff. The trend only continued in the three-hole playoff as Bradley fed off the momentum to win by one shot.
Dufner, of course, would get his time to shine by winning the tournament in 2013.
