And it wasn't a "torn cornea". He just couldn't wear contact lenses for a little while because he had lasik surgery and his eyes needed to "rest" without contacts. That's all. Anybody who wears contacts does the exact same thing every now and then. Kenny Perry withdraws from PGA Championship with eye injury | Tours & News | Golf.com
In his own words, it was "annoying" and "aggravating". That's all.
Yeah, right, withdraw to prepare for the Ryder Cup. An event which is more than a month away.
It's a good thing Tiger didn't have anything aggravating him during the U.S. Op... Oh, wait.
Well then its a good thing that Padraig didn't have any annoying distractions during the Briti... Shoot, nevermind.
I guess its lucky that Trevor Immelman hadn't come off a year with multiple injuries and a major surgery that removed a tumor from his chest cavit... Hmmm.
EDIT: And for the sake of accuracy, Perry does not lead in FedEx Cup points. Tiger is still in first place. |
Post of the month
Perry quit because he shot a 79 simple as that. If his eye was that bad he shouldn't have teed it up in the 1st place but he had qualified for this major so had no excuse not to play. I have more respect for Monty who's going through a Major Slump in form, says his game is at about 60% where he wants it to be but it's a Major so he teed it up and gave it his best. I know who I'd rather have on my Ryder Cup team.
