“It’s more special because I have my son with me. It’s a calming influence. I spent more time worrying about him.” – after shooting a 66 with her 12-year-old son, Cooper, on her bag

Kenny Perry had already done his part for the senior circuit at this U.S. Open, shooting 74-69 to make the cut as the oldest player in the field. But the 53-year-old had another trick up his sleeve in Round 3, holing an incredible shot from the “rough” at Pinehurst No. 2’s 14th hole for eagle. Although he finished with a 74 and sits at 7 over after three rounds, his eagle is easily the shot of the tournament to this point.
