Fred Couples Course Quotations

My days aren't numbered, but they're close to it. But this is a course I'm very accustomed to. I've played this course for 25 years. If I can play really well, I think I can catch Rory. If he plays well, we're all done.

I can't imagine the course playing any easier.

If Tiger Woods hits four really good drives, or Vijay (Singh) or Davis (Love III) or Ernie Els, I don't know a course they don't have an advantage on. So you have to keep it in play.

I was driving it where I had 9-irons and wedges to a lot of holes. I think we all know what they've done to the course by lengthening it, and I think it helps me.

Age is a factor. I just feel like I can save a shot or two on the course if everything is going OK and you're into the round. It seems like I've had really good finishes here and my length has been a key to that. But I still have to go out and hit the ball. It doesn't help me if I'm playing it from the shrubs.

This course is set up for my game. I feel very good on this course. I'm a very good lag putter and you have to do that here. My eye catches the slopes pretty well. That just comes from doing it for (so many) years. ... Around the greens, even though I'm not an incredibly good putter, I feel pretty safe.

In a tournament like this, I don't know if there are that many young guys here. Here, the age is a huge factor. I just feel like I can save a shot or two on the course if everything's going well.

He's an incredible player. He's got more talent than maybe anyone out here in his hands and his game. Phil can overpower a golf course like Tiger can. He drove it really, really well today.

It was the hardest golf course I had ever played, ... I never bent over and fixed a ball mark. There weren't any. It was brutal. Then we got rain and it just destroyed the course... but it made us feel a little bit at ease.

It was a tough course today. When I teed off at 1:45, the wind had started to pick up fairly nicely. It was just tough.

Here, age is a huge factor. I've played a bunch. I feel like I can save a shot or two on the course if everything is going OK and you are into the round.
