Pat Perez is still an Idiot

After scorching the Palmer Private yesterday and the Nicklaus course today Pat Perez came away with not only the lead, but set a new PGA tour 36 hole scoring record in the process at 124. That is correct, 20 under after only two rounds in a 90 hole event. Seems to me 40 under may be a possibility this year with the lack of wind and near perfect scoring conditions. Only 8 of the 128 players in the field aren't under par.

Through all of this it's important that we don't lose perspective on the truth and forget that in the end, Pat Perez is an idiot. If you don't agree with me, that's fine. You're wrong, but it's still fine. Make sure you try and catch his post-round interview from today in case you missed it. A pure jackass as always. Let's hope we see another back nine collapse on Sunday reminiscent of his choke job at the 2002 AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am. That final round 76 was glorious. Man did he ever snare that fairway wood on 18. Who hasn't broken a club over their knee?

I've done what Perez is doing in that picture many times. Way too many times.

I must confess that I have as well.

I've bent my 5-iron over my head in a tournament after only 3 holes.

i withdrew shortly thereafter. Perez is only human.
