After winning the Regions Tradition last week, Kenny Perry is after yet another Champions Tour major -- this time, the Senior PGA Championship.
And Perry is probably the first-class story this week as nicely.
You see, Kenny Perry has had his issues with the PGA, both on the ordinary PGA Tour and on the Champions Tour.
Last yr he was in position to win the Senior PGA. He become 3 photographs beforehand with 6 holes to play, simplest to crash and burn at the same time as Kohki Idoki chased him down from five shots again.
And back in 1996 Perry had a unmarried shot lead on the remaining hollow of the "regular" PGA Championship. He took a bogey and ended up in a playoff wherein he become overwhelmed by way of Mark Brooks.
That PGA was held in his home state of Kentucky, at Valhalla Golf Club -- the same place this year's regular PGA will be held. If Perry could manage to win this week, he'd punch his ticket back for another chance at the one that got away.
Of route, even though maximum of his fellow Champions Tour gamers truly experience for him -- many of them have felt the equal heartbreak -- you could make certain they don't have any intention of letting him get his 4th consecutive Champions Tour principal.
Oh, yes. There are a lot of storylines at this week's Senior PGA, such as the continued search for a major on any tour by popular players like John Cook, Rocco Mediate, and Colin Montgomerie; or Hale Irwin's attempt to win at age 68; or the continued battle for supremacy between Bernhard Langer, Fred Couples, and Jay Haas in the Charles Schwab Cup race. (Perry's win last week vaulted him into the running as well.) But there's no story quite as exciting as a tale of redemption...
Or a quest for revenge, if you prefer. Kenny Perry's out for both.
