Watch baby elephant play keep away with Jason Dufner’s golf hat

Jason Dufner took time out from the Chiangmai Golf Classic in Thailand to schmooze with a baby elephant. As it often does when the king of Dufnering is involved, mirth ensued.

Jason Dufner got up close and personal with an elephant during his trip to Thailand for the Chiangmai Golf Classic and baby Dumbo not only stole the 2013 PGA champ’s Titleist golf cap, but teased him with it as well.

Dufner, working his way back from a neck injury that put him on the DL for three months before returning to competition last month in Australia, was tied for fifth after shooting a pair of 69s in the first two rounds at Alpine Golf Course. The three-time PGA Tour winner headed into the weekend at 6-under, five shots off the pace.
