Couples Relies on Bridgestone Ball and Irons for Thrilling Victory in Calgary
Covington, Ga. — Bridgestone ambassador and World Golf Hall of Fame member Fred Couples treated fans to an unforgettable performance on Sunday at Canyon Meadows Golf Club during the Shaw Charity Classic in Calgary, to earn his 11th career Champions Tour Title.
Couples began the final round 4-shots off the lead but recorded 5 birdies and 2 eagles (including a thrilling chip-in on the 18th hole) en route to a course-record final round 61 to earn his way into a playoff. On the first playoff hole, Couples continued his brilliant iron play, stiffing his approach shot to kick-in range for a tournament-winning birdie. For the week, Couples carded rounds of 68-66-61 for a 15-under par total. The victory, Couples’ second of the season, vaults him into 6th place in the season-long Charles Schwab Cup Points race.
