Why do people care what Kenny Perry is doing with his career? I just don't get it.

If Kenny Perry had not won 3 of his last 5 (something like that) it would be a non issue. Or in my mind a bigger non issue than it already was.

Does anybody honestly think his high draw ballflight would have gotten him to the weekend? Honestly, he has one shot-the high draw with an occasional low draw thrown in. I could be wrong.

Its just a golf tournament, anyone who thinks otherwise has bought into the media hype. Life will go on for Kenny.

I don't really think that many really are ragging on him. I'm not the biggest fan of his decisions, but he's a big boy.

Well, if he wasn't going to win anyway (most probably), why do people even care about him going or not?

if you've talked to the guy and played high school golf with his kids then you would know how much of a class act he is. You dont hear much about Kenny off the golf course but he's one of the nicest guys on tour according to most insiders. To be honest, Perry knows he'll be remembered by those closest to him on what happens at Valhalla in the Ryder Cup

It's the attitude of 'if it's outside of the US who's bothered' which pi$$ed me off. I wonder if he'll manage to pluck up the courage to venture outside the US if he qualifies for the Ryder Cup team in 2010 for Celtic Manor? Or if he'll say sorry no offence to the Britons or them over there but I'm an american and I like it over here? I wonder if you'd all talk about his game not suiting the windy UK or if he'd get a rough ride for pulling out of the team?

You were pi$$ed off long before he made that comment. When he made the perceived insult it only threw gasoline on your already burning flames.
