Perry was considered iffy for the tournament after suffering a scratched cornea on Tuesday. His doctors advised him not to wear his contact lenses for a week, but Perry, saying he couldn't see well enough to play without eyewear, and didn't consider glasses an option, teed off Thursday wearing the contacts.
What? He "didn't consider glasses an option"?!?!? What kind of B.S. is that?

Did Perry never see Tom Kite play on the PGA Tour? If Kite could win the U.S. Open at Pebble Beach in the howling wind with those Coke bottle glasses, please explain why Perry couldn't go to Lenscrafters and pick out some specs that would stay on his face.

I'm beginning to suspect that there is something more to Perry's avoidance of majors. And if I was Azinger, I would be seriously concerned about Perry's ability to hold up under the pressure of a big time event.
