Golf writer Andy Reistetter is on site at The Tour Championship Presented by Coca-Cola at East Lake Golf Club in Atlanta, Georgia and is providing daily reports covering the action both inside and outside the ropes.
Forget the Harrington-Woods matchup…it's all about the old guy Kenny Perry facing down gunslinger Tiger Woods in the Playoff Finale at East Lake.
The old guy is hot, hot as can be after firing 66-64 over the last two trips around the golf course upon which the legendary Bobby Jones learned the game of golf.
Perry started Saturday's third round with four straight birdies and made the understatement of the year about it in the media center.
"Well, four birdies in a row puts you in a good mood is all I can say."
Woods is intent on winning his 72nd PGA Tour victory, not the FedExCup.
"I'd much rather just win the tournament, and the FedExCup will take care of itself."
"As of right now, I'm two (strokes) back and have an opportunity to win the tournament, and that's what I'm going to focus on tomorrow."
Tiger knows Kenny Perry.
"Golf is not his No. 1 priority, his family is. He has other interests off the golf course such as racing, which he loves to do. I think he's made a resurgence over the last few years, I think just because he's seen that 50 is coming up."
Tiger knows Kenny's game too which is basically a right-to-left draw.
"(Kenny) work(s) the ball only one way."
Perry would tell you the same thing especially when asked about his four birdie run to start the day.
"(On the) second hole I hit a beautiful five‑iron from 223 or whatever it was, back left pin. That's where I like them; kind of hit my little draw in there about eight feet right of the hole."
