You know all about Fred Couples. You recall that he's a former No. 1 ranked player in the world, winner of 15 PGA Tour events, including a Masters. He's a two-time Player of the Year, five-time Ryder Cup player and recent Presidents Cup captain.
But this is going to shock you: this year as a Champions Tour rookie Couples has won $2,271,894, the most he's ever earned in any season as a professional. And you still want to make jokes about "geezer golf?"
Sunday afternoon at The Woodlands outside Houston, Couples won his fourth senior title of the year.
In the Administaff Small Business Classic, he shot a tournament-record, final-round 63 that included a double bogey to finish seven shots in front of runner-up Mark Wiebe. After beginning the day two shots out of the lead, Couples finished with a back-nine 29. Along the way he used only 24 putts.
