TaylorMade-adidas Golf Tour Staff professional Kenny Perry fired a nearly effortless, bogey-free final-round 63 to clinch victory at the Travelers Championship. It was his second win on the PGA Tour this year, his fifth in the past 13 months and his first since switching to the new R9 460 driver.
It was the 14th career PGA Tour win for the 48-year old Perry, whose goal is to reach 20. His Traveler's win was a record-setter for the event at 22-under par that started with an opening-round 61 and finished with a final round 63 to stave off fellow TMaG staffer and R9™ 460 user Paul Goydos.
This is as good a win as I've ever had," Perry said. "On Sunday, my golf was unbelievable. To shoot 22-under par, to break the all-time record of all the great champions that are on this trophy, it's unbelievable."
With his R9 460, Kenny ranked 12th in driving distance with an average of 293.1 yards and T20th in driving accuracy at 80.4% of fairways hit. He also ranked T3rd in greens in regulation. *
The victory was his fifth on the PGA Tour in a little more than a year; the most of any player in that time span. It elevated Kenny to No. 1 on the PGA Tour money list, No. 1 on the Fedex points list, No. 3 on the Presidents Cup points list and No. 3 on the Ryder Cup points list.
Perry was one of 38 players who played an R9 driver, 14 of whom used the just-introduced R9 460.
