Playing for the first time in Australia since 1997, Fred Couples shot rounds of 71 (-1) and 67 (-5) at the Johnnie Walker Classic, held this year in Perth.
After a difficult back nine in the first round, Couples bounced back with a solid performance on friday despite the fact that he only hit 5 fairways. The man birdied three of the four par-5’s and managed to birdie three straight holes by making very long putts.
Tied for 16th place with two rounds to go, Couples stands seven shots back of leader K.J Choi. While a win might be quite difficult to achieve, a top 10 or even a top 5 is a very realistic. goal.
