Playing the Dubai Desert Classic instead of his hometown events in San Diego (this week) and Scottsdale (next week) apparently freed up Pat Perez to gripe about his poor Ryder Cup standing despite a strong fall.
Speaking in Dubai where he's presumably cashing a nice appearance fee in lieu of picking up Ryder Cup points, Perez lamented the task forces' thinking.
From Ewan Murray's Guardian story:
“I won in Malaysia and I finished fifth in Korea and I didn’t get any points for the American side,” Perez said. “That upset me a little bit. I’m 13 on the list, but I should be probably three or four.
“So it kind of put a bitter taste in my mouth; the fact that you win on the PGA Tour, you beat some good players and yet you don’t get any points because of whatever our committee has decided to do.
“In my opinion if you win the same year of the Ryder Cup, you should get the points."
