FRED Couples finished off John Cook with a nifty wedge shot to three feet on the third hole of a playoff Sunday in the Seniors Players Championship.
“I knew when it was going, it was a really good shot,” Couples said. “I didn’t think it was going to be short and trickle down the hill. I just felt like it was going to be right there. It was simple yardage — 76 yards — and it hit soft. That extra rain certainly helped that shot, but I knew it was going to be close.”
Couples won his first senior major title, closing with an even-par 71 to match Cook (70) at 11-under on Westchester Country Club’s West Course — a longtime PGA Tour venue where Couples estimated he has played about 100 rounds in 30 years. Peter Senior (71) was third at 10 under.
Victoria’s Jim Rutledge finished the tournament at even par while Rod Spittle of Niagara Falls, Ont., was 13 over after four rounds.
