Raul Pereda sat down at a Mexican restaurant not far from his home. He’s a frequent visitor as the food comes quickly, is made in the style he prefers and is not far from his home and the course where he practices at the southern reaches of Jacksonville. Pereda came to Florida’s First Coast to attend college at Jacksonville University, and he liked it so much he stayed. One place Pereda will become even more acquainted than he already is is Jacksonville International Airport. In early March, Pereda, already a PGA TOUR Latinoamérica member, qualified to play on the Mackenzie Tour once that season starts later this summer. His plan is to play every PGA TOUR Latinoamérica tournament, and when that season ends he will segue immediately into his first Mackenzie Tour season after earning membership at the Qualifying Tournament outside Fort Lauderdale. The Mexico City native who grew up in Córdoba, Veracruz, Mexico, had plenty on his mind, as he took time, between bites, to share a bit of his background.
