It’s Masters week and Fred Couples is coming in as hot as any golfer, having finished the Shell Houston Open at 13-under par in his last 27 holes. Fred was not at Augusta on Monday. In an interview after the fourth round of the Shell Houston Open he stated he was going to see the therapist that has been working on his back before coming to Augusta.
Last year, the Masters was Fred’s last regular season tournament before hanging it up for health reasons. He made the cut right on the number – 8-over. He’s hoping for much better this year and if his putter can stay as hot as it was over the weekend in Houston, there’s no reason why he shouldn’t be in contention.
