OK, one last thing regarding last week's Masters Tournament. Several friends, and maybe even a stranger or two, have suggested that it was Kenny Perry's last chance to win a major and he blew it.
I just want to make sure I'm on record somewhere (and this is as good a place as any) saying Perry will contend for another major this year -- most likely either the U.S. Open or PGA Championship. Not so sure about his chances in the British, though he had three straight good finishes there rather recently.
Yes, he turns 49 in August, and most golfers have slipped well before that age. So, in terms of keeping up with Tiger and Lefty and the rest, he's playing on borrowed time. One day he'll wake up old, sooner rather than later. But unless a hip or shoulder starts aching in the next few months, he'll have another shot. Maybe two.
There, I feel better. Of course, if it doesn't happen, I'll eventually have this item ushered out of cyberspace and into a black hole.
