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. He hasn't exactly been in the doldrums since then but he's failed to make the top 20 in four subsequent starts and admits he's not hitting the ball the way he wants to. He's also made the top 20 just once in a rather chequered US Open career which dates back to 1988. That's surprisingly poor for a top player, who hits the ball long and straight but perhaps points to a lack of imagination and magic in his short game - the reason which ultimately cost him at Augusta when he started missing greens when the pressure was really on.
