Fred Couples played a practice round on Tuesday at the Masters. A couple of photos are in the gallery. If you were in attendance on Tuesday and have either notes to share on Fred’s play or photos, please send them to earthgolf@gmail.com.
An article in the USA Today discusses Fred’s chances at the Masters. Here is an excerpt:
Twenty-three times he has teed it up at Augusta National, and 23 times he’s made the cut, a successive streak record he shares with Gary Player. Couples is the only Masters champion to have never missed a cut.
“It’s a nice thing, but I don’t know, really, how to explain it,” Couples, 48, said. “It’s not one of the great records there, and I’d rather have two green jackets than making all the cuts. I don’t think I’ve ever gone there except for last year worrying about making a cut. Now, you miss a lot of cuts because you’re not playing well. But Augusta, I think the course brings something out in me even when I’m not playing well.”
Today is the par 3 tournament. Masters.org will be airing the tournament live on the internet from 2-5 PM Eastern. ESPN will, for the first time, broadcast the tournament live on TV.

Does Fred have something up his sleeve?
