Plaque marks Dufner's fortunate break at PGA West Stadium Course

Joe Camporeale-USA TODAY

Jason Dufner got a great break at the 2016 CareerBuilder Challenge when his tee shot came to rest on a small dirt patch a couple of feet from the water.

Dufner would nearly hole the recovery and tap-in for a three at the par-3 island green 17th. The 2013 PGA champion would eventually defeat David Lingmerth in a playoff for his fourth PGA Tour win.

To commemorate his shot at the 71st hole of the event, the PGA West Stadium Course installed a plaque that reads "Escape from Alcatraz."

We won't soon forget this shot.
