I would love to see this man take the green Jacket.......He's probably my favorite golfer of all......Just ambles along enjoying the view playing like its a casual round between friends........

Love his manner and really love the swing........The Guardian wrote this about him which gies a little insite into his Character......At least he's honest anyway......



In a poetic twist, one of Augusta's old timers enjoyed his latest day in the spotlight for positive reasons as the Guan controversy raged on. In defying the theory that an inevitable consequence of ageing is slowing down, Fred Couples carded his second under par round in succession to lie on the sane score as Leishman by close of play. Couples donned the Green Jacket in 1992, six years before Guan was born. The 63-year-old remains one of golf's most amiable and popular figures; there would be few complaints, then, were Couples to continue this impressive Masters challenge into Sunday afternoon.

"In the last two days I have driven the ball nicely so it seems like the same old course, for me," Couples said. "I'm just having fun watching the leaderboards.

"My goal [is to contend on Sunday] but it is hard. I'm not going to kid you. I'm really tired. Am I good enough to play four good rounds in a row on a course like this? It didn't happen last year.

"If I can drive it close to the long hitters so that they are hitting 9-irons into greens and I'm hitting eight then I'm still right there. I can do that. But when this course becomes middle to long irons every hole, you can forget it."

Couples retains the inside knowledge of how to handle Augusta's most menacing aspects. Guan has also sampled its' harsh reality, if not quite the brutally painful ending which threatened to arrive.
