Perry Realizes Dream?

Hello. Congrats to Kenny Perry for winning the Memorial Sunday. Perry finished 2 ahead of the rest, including Canada's Mike Weir.
In a way, Perry's win reminded me of Tiger Woods. He got ahead, then didn't make any mistakes. His bogey on the 71st hole just lessened the gap from 3 to 2. Meanwhile, everyone around him imploded.
Perry's dream this year is to play in the Ryder Cup at Valhalla in his home state of Kentucky. US Ryder Cup captain Paul Azinger says he wanted guys who have won recently. Perry now qualifies in that department, and he's now 8th in points, which would guarantee him a spot if he stayed there.
But Azinger has always been known as a loose cannon. I'm wondering what he thinks of Perry skipping the US Open. It makes sense for Perry, although I'd never do it. I think Azinger feels the same as me. If he does, he could leave Perry off should he not stay in 8th spot. While the media stink would be big, Azinger is the type to weather the storm.
Here's hoping Perry makes Azinger's opinion academic. Congrats again Kenny!

Regards,
Steve
