TaylorMade-adidas Golf Tour Staff professional Kenny Perry became the third multiple winner on the PGA Tour this year yesterday by capturing the Buick Open. It was his second victory of the year and second this June; he also won The Memorial on the first day of this month.
Winning the Buick secured Perry's place on this year's U.S. Ryder Cup team, which has been his primary goal this year. "Come January 1, my only goal was to make The Ryder Cup team, and that's really got me focused," he said following the final round. "It's at home at Valhalla in my home state and at a golf course that I lost the 1996 PGA Championship in a playoff. I want to go back; it's the icing on the cake for me to be able to play at my age."
A month shy of his 48th birthday, Perry still averaged more than 300 yards off the tee at the Buick using a TaylorMade Tour Burner driver. "I love my game, the way I'm playing right now," he added. "It's nice to get back on form again, and to feel like I can win. I still hit it plenty far enough."
The equipment Perry relied on:
Driver: Tour Burner® 9.0°
Fairway Woods: Burner® 14.5° (3), 17.5° (5)
Irons: r7 TP (3-PW)
Wedge: rac 54°
Apparel: adidas ClimaCool®
