Kenny Perry returns to d**k's Sporting Goods Open after 22 years
Kenny Perry will return to action at the d**k's Sporting Goods Open for the first time since his last appearance in 1990, when he tees off at the En-Joie Golf Club on Friday, August 17, 2012.
Perry is currently enjoying a great form and is listed among the hot favourites for a win, despite the fact that he will make his first appearance at the venue after 22 years.
He told that he was excited to be back in the event and was waiting for the tournament to begin officially.
“I'm excited about being back,” he said. “I haven't played the course. I haven't even been out there. All the guys are raving about how great of shape it's in. John has done a wonderful job of getting a good field here, so I'm excited about kicking off my
first Champions Tour event here this week”.
According to him, he always enjoyed his participation because of the atmosphere at the course and the facilities that the tournament organizers provide throughout the week.
While talking to the Champions Tour official website, he told that he was ready for the challenge that the course will offer him.
He stated that he did not remember anything about the course. Moreover, he expects several changes in the layout of the course. Therefore, he does not consider himself as a favourite if talked about experience at the venue.
“I can't really say a lot about the golf course, I haven't been on it. I haven't been on it in 22 years, so I don't remember a lot about it,” he said. “So I'm looking forward to the challenge of going out there and playing today and trying to get a feel
for it”.
He will enter the tournament with a tied third position in hand that came in the 3M Championship, held two weeks ago.
In addition to that, he also has five other top-10 finishes recorded to his name this year, including a victory in the ACE Group Classic in February. This is what makes him one of the hottest players in the field.
