It’s been a surreal run for Fred Couples all weekend long; the pentagenarian has been staying in contention, delighting fans at Augusta. Even with his pedestrian putting, Couples stood at -10, just two back of the leaders at the turn.
Amen Corner Eats Fred Couples Alive
So much for that, though; Couples is now completely out of serious contention. The culprit? Amen Corner. Couples bogeyed 11, then put his tee shot in the drink at 12, leading to a two-putt double bogey. From -10 to -7; from two shots back to five. Thanks for playing.
Couples would birdie the 13th hole, but he probably won’t be putting on that green jacket now. Oh well. It was a hell of a ride.
