The Official 'Double P' Blog

Pat Perez likes Riviera Country Club. After an eighth place finish in 2007, PP picked up where he left off last February and opened with a 69 at the newly named Northern Trust Open.

Perez netted five birdies on the day, putting him at T7th in that category. A double bogey on #5 was the only blemish on the front nine. Birdies on #2 and #9 had him even at the turn.

On the back nine, back-to-back birdies on #11 and #12 had PP at -2, but a bogey on #15 sent him back to -1.

Perez went on to birdie the 18th - which was ranked the day's most difficult hole - and closed out with a 69.
