Perry Realizes Dream? IV

Hello. Congrats to Kenny Perry for winning the John Deere Classic, his third win of the season. His dream (and nightmare) season continue.
Perry decided long ago to play in the US Bank Milwaukee event this week instead of going to the Open Championship at Royal Birkdale. At the time, it looked like he would be waiting for the Champions Tour and just honing his game.
How things have changed. If Perry were going to the Open Championship, he'ds be a favourite. Maybe even THE favourite. People wouldn't be surprised if he won.
Instead, he's staying on this side of the pond.
Many people have criticized Perry. I see his point however. We criticize players if they don't attend the "lesser" events, like Milwaukee. Perry is honouring his commitment. That should be commended.
Obviously this media stur hasn't affected his game, so he's following his game plan.
And playing links golf can possibly do more harm than good to Perry's game. Although his record is acceptable over there, one bad week could have long lasting effects.
Congrats Kenny! And good luck in Milwaukee.

Regards,
Steve
