This performance is good for a $40,000 check, and a second consecutive top-5 finish at the SK Telecom Open.

Fred’s closing round of 69(-3) was his best round of the tournament, but as you will read in the next article, the man missed several birdies opportunities on the front side.

Couples, the 1992 US Masters champion, who lamented his ability to score low enough this week to really challenge, left his best until last. The 15-time winner on the US PGA Tour reeled off birdies at 13, 15 and 16 to storm into contention for an unlikely chance at victory.

However, time ran out for the American and he was forced to make do with a share of second alongside Buckle. “I was always a bit far back and I knew ‘KJ’ was going to play well. But the weather was not perfect, so I thought if I could shoot five or six-under I might be able to win the tournament.

“Early in the round I missed several makeable six, eight and 10-footers for birdies and by then I felt like I had no chance of winning. On the back nine, it was very exciting, but it just was not enough.”
