Pat Perez starts off the fiftieth Bob Hope Classic with a ridiculous total of only 124 over the first two days of competition. Perez started Wednesdays round with a sick score of 61, followed by a nine under par 63 effort on Wednesday. What did it get him? Not much, as currently he is tied for the lead with Tom Pernice Jr. and a slew of players right off the lead.
I've always thought Perez had the potential to be somewhat of a force on the PGA. He is strong, has a great swing, but unfortunately his temper gets the better of him. Hes been on the tour since 2002, has a handful of top tens but no wins. With this "record," which I don't think is a big deal, it just shows that any golfer on the PGA at anytime can become hot and post ridiculous numbers. The great ones, excluding Tiger because we already know, have the ability to make cuts and be consistent week in and week out. For instance, take a guy like Jim Furyk. If you don’t follow golf, you might not know who he is, but all he does is make money. Since 2001 this guy averages over a win per year along with a total earnings that has never been less than $691,000 because in 2004 he was hurt. His swing is absurd, take a look…
In those years where he wasn’t hurt the least he made was 2.5 million, most was 7.2 MILLION in 2006…GET PAID. Furyk has a US Open Championship to his name, and can always be found somewhere sitting quietly in the top 15 of the world rankings. People who aren't in the top 15? How about David Duval, John Daly and this guy...Tim Hardaway
