Kenny Perry Will Not Finish a Single Major This Season

Kenny Perry's major championship roller coaster has finally ended, doing so in equally bizarre fashion as it took off.

Currently the active leader on the FexEx Cup point standings (Tiger Woods is just ahead of him), Perry created an uproar this year by skipping the U.S. Open and the British Open for lesser known PGA Tour events that he already committed to. He did all of this because his main golf this season was to make the Ryder Cup in his home state of Kentucky.

Well, he isn't finishing the PGA Championship either. After a first round 9-over 79, Perry withdrew because of a scratch cornea he suffered Tuesday night.

Obviously it would be tough to play a round of golf in any situation with a problem with your eye, but I'd say he will be working to get this fixed up so he can participate in the Ryder Cup come September. Nothing would be worse than a guy trying as hard as Perry has to represent his country and having to miss out because of injury.

I'm sure he'll be fine, but here is some good will coming from us guys.

Kenny Perry Might Not Be Great Against the Other Great Players

It's day one of the Bridgestone Invitational at Firestone and a few mini-story lines are unfolding.

South Africans are obviously a big fan of the course today. Retief Goosen shot a four-under 66 while fellow Bottom African Tim Clark shot a 67 and is tied in second place.

Chez Reavie showed today that last week wasn't just a fluke, posting a two-under 68, tied with Rocco Mediate, Phil Mickelson and a ton of other golfers.

The corpse of Vijay Singh shot a three-under 67 and everyone's favorite major misser, Kenny Perry, might be really good at winning random tour events, but is showing why missing the big tournaments might be sensible. Perry is four-over through 17 holes today and is currently tied for 72nd place out of just 80 golfers. I'm not a big math guy, but I don't think that is what you want.
