Tracking Kentuckian Kenny Perry in Connecticutt

Kentucky PGA Tour professional Kenny Perry could not overcome a hot shooting Paul Goydos at the Travelers Championship, he will trail by one shot entering Sunday's fourth and final round. Perry played well in his third round, tallying a (-4) round of 66 on the par 70 TPC at River Highlands course in Cromwell, CT. Goydos was three better than Perry with a 63 in today's third round. Overall the 48-year-old, big hitting, Kentuckian is playing well and is one good round away from his second win of the 2009 season, the 14th of his long career. It would be so sweet to see Perry get back in the winner's circle after his hearbreaking defeat at the Masters. He seems to have put those demons behind him now and is showing terriffic form in his game. For a player of his advanced age, to be able to come back in this manner is quite extraordinary. In the game of golf, the feelings of failure tend to linger for so long, and a close call in a major championship that Perry suffered at the Masters this past April could have quite easily slammed the door on his career. Thankfully for Kenny Perry fans like myself, this is not the case.
