Kenny Perry shot 63 yesterday to finish with a course-record 22-under-par 258, giving him a three-stroke victory over Paul Goydos and David Toms in the Travelers Championship.
The 48-year old Perry, who led after each of the first two rounds at TPC River Highlands in Cromwell, Conn., trailed by a stroke to Paul Goydos heading into the final round.
He responded by shooting a 32 on the front nine and was up by five strokes heading to the par-4 15th.
Perry birdied 15 and put the tournament away by making birdie on 17 after hitting a 164-yard approach to within eight feet.
"I knew that I had to keep making birdies," he said. "I wasn't going to let up. I wasn't going to play defensive golf."
Perry has won five times in just more than a year, the most of any player on tour. He has 12 top-10 finishes over that span. His 14th career win also moves him to the top of the FedEx Cup standings. source>>>
