Couples 2 for 3 on Champions Tour

Silky smooth swinger Fred Couples is showing very little mercy on The Champions Tour. In three full field events Freddie has played, he's won two of them, and back to back no less.

Couples closed with a final round 65, to win by four at the Toshiba Classic at Newport Beach Country Club.

"In a good way I am full of confidence in my game," said Couples, who carded rounds of 66 and 64 on Friday and Saturday. "I talked to Jay Haas a long time ago and when you are 50 you are the youngest guy out here and if you are a good player like I think I am, I thought I would have some opportunities to win out here."

Despite playing only three tournaments, Couples leads the tour in earnings with $691,000. If Freddie's back cooperates he could be seeing alot of hardware and big cardboard cheques this year on the Champions Tour.

Cheers,
