The Official 'Double P' Blog

Pat Perez is in Bloomfield Township, MI this week for the PGA Championship at Oakland Hills. This marks PP's fifth appearance at this highly regarded major.

Perez played his first PGA Championship in 2002, earning an exemption with three top five finishes by the end of July. The result, a 70th place finish. 

After missing the 2003 and 2004 PGA Championship, Perez pulled his best major finish with a T6th finish in 2005. The 68-71-67-73 finish had Perez finishing three strokes behind eventual winner Phil Mickelson. (Note: Perez finished T3rd in the 2006 PLAYERS Championship, unofficially referred to as the fifth major.) 

Perez missed the cut in 2006, shooting 73-73 but rebounded in 2007 with a T18th finish after shooting 70-69-77-68 in Medinah Country Club (IL).

PP enters this year's PGA Championship 58th in FedExCup point standings. In twenty events played, Perez has three top ten finishes and has missed five cuts - two coming in the past few weeks (British Open and RBC Canadian Open).

Thursday's tee time is 8:00am ET and Perez goes at 1:10pm ET on Friday.
