Kenny Perry's second victory of the season rested on the putters of the two "W's, "Woodhead" Austin and Watson, Bubba. Austin three-putted for bogey on the last two holes (albeit from distance) and Watson couldn't make a 12-footer for birdie on the 72nd hole to tie so Perry wins his second tournament of the year."I threw it away," said "The Woodhead," whose demonstrative ways led him to cup a ball and slam it against the wood board marking the seventh tee. "I didn't hit the ball close enough to the hole the last two holes to counteract my yips. I've got to figure it out or I'd better quit." In Woodhead and Bubba's good company, Dudley "The Dud" Hart collected four bogies over the last seven holes to sub-marine his chances to win.
From the PGA Tour website: "Kenny Perry, winner of yesterday's Buick Open, will honor his commitment to play in the U.S. Bank Championship in Milwaukee rather than the British Open. He's a former champ at Brown Deer Park, so who knows what might happen there." Which brings into focus, once again, Johnny Miller's critique of Perry's decision NOT to play at Torrey Pines in the U.S. Open. Now, Perry's supporters will have some additional explaining to do. Mr. Weenie, (er, Perry) will not appear in the British Open in a month. Not to beat a dead horse, but this is a guy who wants desperately to play international competition in the Ryder Cup? What would you rather have...a trophy from a minor tour event called Milwaukee or be known as the Open Champion for the rest of your life? No contest from this quarter.
Mikey P. jumps a few spots in the standings with a rare pick of Kenny Perry to win The Buick Open. Miracle dart-throwin' Mikey.
"Woodheads" two three-wacks cost T & A, Perry Sato and Doug B. a shot at a bunch of top money. Perry's eagle from the bunker at 14 didn't help their cause either.
On to the Tiger-less sponsored AT&T in DC. Question of the week: Why do you think that in baseball, they call these, "the dog days?"
