Nobody was going to catch winner Anthony Kim at the Wachovia Championship – his 16-under total was five shots better than second place. Fred Couples managed a final round, even par, 72 to finish in a tie for eighth place – his third top ten of the year. Only 10 players have more top tens on tour so far this year than Fred.
It was another round, like Saturday, of what could have been. Fred missed a number of birdie putts inside of 10 feet and an eagle putt of six feet on Sunday. However, the top ten finish continues the momentum of this year headed into this week’s Players Championship. Despite the putting woes from Sunday, Fred ended ranked 17th in total putts per round. The 31 putts from Sunday were up four from both Friday and Saturday.
Fred moved up from 74th place on the FedEx Cup to 56th.
