Golfer Jason Dufner, an Auburn alum, honors Philip Lutzenkirchen on golf bag prior to British Open (Photo)
With the British Open on the horizon next weekend, American golfer and Auburn alum Jason Dufner is preparing for a trip across the pond, but he wouldn’t make the trip without a new specially-made golf bag.
He tweeted a photo of the bag, which includes the Auburn logo and a No. 43 patch in honor of former Tigers tight end Philip Lutzenkirchen. Lutzenkirchen was killed in a car crash on June 29.

Dufner was a walk-on on the Tigers’ golf team when he arrived on campus and earned honorable mention All-American in 1997 before turning pro in 2000.
Dufner, who won the PGA Championship last year, is currently ranked No. 21 in the world.
