PONTE VEDRA BEACH, Fla. — Kenny Perry won bragging rights to the 50-and-over competitors at TPC Sawgrass in the 2011 PLAYERS Championship, finishing 4 under after a a 73 on Sunday.
Perry, who has played in THE PLAYERS 23 straight years, owns two top-10 finishes at TPC Sawgrass, tying for third in 1996 and fourth in 2004. Corey Pavin, 51, made his 26th start at THE PLAYERS, including 24 straight until missing 2008 and again in 2010, fired a 71 Sunday to finish 2 under for the week.
The oldest player in the field, 54-year-old Mark O’Meara, who was near the top of the leaderboard after a 66 in Round 1, never regained that form in the next three rounds and finished 8 over. This was his first PLAYERS since 2003, having qualified via his victory in the Constellation Energy Senior Players Championship.
