Jason Dufner has won his first major title with a two-stroke victory over fellow American Jim Furyk at the US PGA Championship.

Dufner bogeyed the final two holes on Sunday for a two-under 68 that was good enough to hold off 2003 US Open champion Furyk and win at 10-under 270.

Henrik Stenson finished three shots back.

Masters champion Adam Scott finished as the highest Australian, five shot behind Dufner in a tie for fifth.

Dufner made up for the heartache of the 2011 US PGA Championship, when he went to the 15th tee with a four-stroke lead in Atlanta. He dunked that shot in the water, squandered the advantage and lost to Keegan Bradley in a playoff.

There was no such collapse on another warm, sunny day at Oak Hill.

From tee to green, Dufner was nearly perfect. If not for a bit of a shaky putter, the margin would’ve been even more.
