At Augusta in April, Kenny Perry stood on the brink of history. A superlative display from tee to green had left him in prime position to win the Masters and, at 48, become the oldest champion in majors history. But we all know what happened next. He bogeyed the final two holes, made a mess of the play-off and, as he did back at the 1996 USPGA, was left wondering how on earth he'd let the chance of glory slip away. This week represents another decent chance for Perry to write his name into history although he's managed just one top 10 in this tournament since that 1996 near-miss. That's surprisingly poor given that this is the major supposed to be the most like a regular tour event and Perry has been winning those in bucketloads in the last few years. The man from Kentucky is a two-time winner this year but it takes something extra to win a major and given those mental scars you'd worry that he'd once more struggle to get over the line if he puts himself in prime position again. Perry managed 29th at Hazeltine back in 2002 and should improve on that but victory could prove elusive again.
