Kenny Perry will step outside of the Champions Tour to play in this week's HP Byron Nelson Championship.
Perry is still fully exempt on the PGA TOUR, but this will be his first start with the flat bellies in 2013. He last played here in 2010, tying for 16th. It will be interesting to see how he fares in a field that isn't one of the strongest of the season. May 15 - 5:07 PM

Kenny Perry is set to make his fifth PGA TOUR start of the season at The Greenbrier Classic.

Perry is playing mainly on the Champions Tour, where he has a win and a runner up already this season. When he's jumped back in with the younger crowd he's held up nicely, making three cuts in four tries. He teed it up at The Old White TPC last season and finished T39.

Kenny Perry followed his opening 66 at the Transitions Championship with a 1-under-par 35-35=70 in his second round.

A frustrating day for the 51-year-old. He buried six birdies but never got lower than 1-under his entire round. That was due to three bogeys and a double-bogey 5 at the 17th hole where he three-putted from 6'6". Four of his birdies disappeared from beyond 10 feet, the longest of which measuring 19'10" at the 15th. He's at 6-under 136, just four strokes off the lead.

Kenny Perry posted a 5-under-par 34-32=66 in his opening round of the Transitions Championship.

The night after Trevor Immelman withdrew, the other primary pitchman for this week's title sponsor sits just five strokes off the clubhouse lead after one round. Perry hit 14 greens and took a tidy 27 putts for his first sub-70 round of nine on the PGA TOUR this year. He circled six birdies, five of which disappearing from at least 12 feet from the cup. It included a five-yarder from the fringe at the fourth hole, a 24'6" gem at the eighth and a conversion of 22'8" at the 13th. He also rolled in a 12-footer for par at No. 17. Despite being fully exempt through 2014, he has minimal fantasy value as he will compete full-time on the Champions Tour.

Kenny Perry carded a 4-under-par 37-30=67 in his opening round of the Outback Steakhouse Pro-Am.

It took the 50-year-old 10 holes to circle his first birdie, but it opened the floodgates, as he rattled off four straight beginning at the third hole. He signed his card three back of Russ Cochran's clubhouse lead. Perry had been sidelined since withdrawing from Arnie's Invite on March 24 due to hip and knee injuries.

Kenny Perry is listed in the published field of next week's Outback Steakhouse Pro-Am on the Champions Tour.

Perry has been sidelined since withdrawing following his opening round at Bay Hill on March 24 due to injuries to his hip and knee. If he can give it a go, this will be his first start of the year on the senior circuit.

Kenny Perry withdrew from the Arnold Palmer Invitational following his opening round, citing injuries to his hip and knee.

Perry shot a 7-over-par 40-39=79 before ending his week. He hit 14 greens, but took an incredibly high 40 putts.

Kenny Perry withdrew very late on Wednesday evening from the Deutsche Bank Championship, citing "mental and physical exhaustion."

He started the week 90th in FedExCup Points, and will not advance to the BMW Championship. In his last five starts, he made two cuts with his highest finish being a T19 at the WGC-Bridgestone. "We have already begun planning his tournament schedule for 2011," said his agent, Alan Bullington, "and Kenny is extremely excited about the opportunities that lie ahead on both the PGA Tour and Champions Tour." Even if you're in a keeper league, it doesn't make any sense to retain the 50-year-old.

Kenny Perry shot a bogey-free, 4-under-par 33-33=66 in his opening round of the World Golf Championships-Bridgestone Invitational.

Greens are running at about 13 on the Stimpmeter today, but conditions are otherwise perfect for scoring, as you'd expect them to be on Thursday morning. Perry hit 13 greens and had 27 putts, including attempts of 17'0" and 14'8" at the 18th and 6th holes, respectively, that dropped for birdies. But he didn't wield his putter at the par-4 11th, instead chipping in from 13 yards out in the rough for birdie. He snared the clubhouse lead from Chad Campbell for a few minutes before Bubba Watson stole it away with a 64. Perry turns 50 in five days.

Kenny Perry signed for a 1-under-par 34-35=69 following his opening round of the Travelers Championship.

And the defending champion required a pair of long-range birdie conversions to post that number. His attempts from 22'8" and 25'0" at the 8th and 16th holes disappeared for birdies, but he needed 32 putts to finish five back of the early clubhouse lead. Perry's son is in a wedding this weekend and not on the bag, so the golfer has hired his long-time host in Connecticut, Steve Kirsch, to caddie. Afterwards, Perry said that Kirsch has already dropped Perry's bag three times this week. Also, Kirsch had reportedly given at least one incorrect yardage in the pro-am. Perry has dropped about 30 pounds to which he attributes his improvement in play since early-season struggles.

Kenny Perry carded a 5-under-par 33-34=67 in his opening round of THE PLAYERS Championship.

Perry hit 13 GIR and converted one eagle and four birdies. The notables occurred at the 6th and 7th holes, where putts disappeared from 24'8" and 11'6", respectively. He also saved par from 17'0" on the 10th, eventually finishing as the sixth golfer one stroke off the clubhouse lead. It's the second consecutive week that he's opened with a sparkling score, but given that he went 79-75-72 after a 66 last Thursday at Quail Hollow, daily leaguers should proceed with caution this week.

After a sparkling 66 in his opening round of the Quail Hollow Championship, Kenny Perry signed for a 7-over-par 39-40=79 following today's second round.

Other than the moral victory of breaking 80, nothing went right for Perry today. He hit just three (of 14) fairways, nine greens and needed 34 putts. He'll play the weekend but he'll start it at an aggregate 1-over-par 145.

Kenny Perry shot a 6-under-par 33-33=66 in his opening round of the Quail Hollow Championship.

Perry has just one top 25 all year, and that occurred at the limited-field SBS Championship to start the season. Today he hit just 11 greens in regulation, but took just 24 putts. That number was aided greatly by the fact that his last stroke on seven holes exceeded 10 feet. Starting on the back nine, he needed a putt from 11'8" to fall for bogey at the par-4 12th. He'd go on to convert on birdie putts of 21'7" (par-3 13th), 11'0" (par-4 14th), 10'4" (par-4 1st) and 10'4" (par-4 4th). He also holed out for birdie from 17 yards and off the green at the par-3 17th, and saw his effort from 12'0" at the par-4 9th disappear for par. The 49-year-old finished one stroke adrift of Bo Van Pelt's pace.

Kenny Perry signed for a 3-under-par 34-34=68 after his opening round of the Waste Management Phoenix Open.

Perry missed just one fairway and hit 14 GIR but drained only five birdies against two bogeys today. His expectations as defending champion are tempered, given that he started the year with a sore elbow and admitted to losing distance off his driver.

In his presser at the Shark Shootout on Thursday, Kenny Perry said that after the season-opening SBS Championship, he will not tee it up again until the WGC-Match Play in mid-February.

"I'm going to stay away from all the multiple[-course] tournaments, Bob Hope, San Diego, AT&T," Perry said, "... just to kind of conserve my energy a little bit and then head back down [to Florida] ... I'll play the Doral and Tampa and Bay Hill. That's kind of how I'm setting my schedule up for next year." He added that he will defend his 2009 win at the Waste Management Phoenix (nee FBR) Open the week after the Match Play. Perry also alluded to an intent to show his face on the Champions Tour once he turns 50 on August 10, but if he's gunning for a spot on the Ryder Cup team and/or he's in position to make a strong run at the FedExCup, expect his plans to change. However, with his elbow now bothering him, and other ailments for a man of his age to spring at any time, 2010 could be a major bust for his fantasy owners.
