Fred Couples was out on the course today with good friend Jay Haas. You can view photos from the round here.
Jason Sobel from ESPN is also cheering for Fred to appear on the leaderboard.
Although this week’s winner won’t be a certain guy clad in a red Nike shirt on Sunday, don’t be surprised if it’s another top-10 type. Here’s one guarantee: The tourney won’t lack for story lines. OK, so Norman, who led through 54 holes and finished T-3 at the British, declined his invitation to participate this week. That doesn’t mean other blasts from the past — Fred Couples, anyone? Or maybe Colin Montgomerie? — can’t scrape their way up the leaderboard.
David Berlin from FoxNews is also expecting big things from Fred this week.
Join the forum discussionThen there’s the “old guy” who out of nowhere gets in contention. It was Rocco Mediate at Torrey Pines and then Greg Norman at Royal Birkdale. I’m looking for Fred Couples to have a strong showing. Since missing his first-ever cut at the Masters, he’s actually played fairly well, although on a limited schedule with three top-20 finishes. If his back holds up, he could make some noise come Sunday.

Good stuff T. Thanks a bunch.
Judging from those pics, Fred could use some time on the treadmill.
great pics Taylor… Thanks! He looks fit!
