Fred Couples celebrates Champions Tour success with Ecco
27/10/2010
Fred Couples, who displays the Ecco logo on his headwear, closed with a 63 to finish the week at 17-under, seven strokes clear of his nearest challenger. By capturing his fourth Champions Tour (for players aged 50 and over) title of the season, he solidified his second place position on both the money and Charles Schwab Cup Points lists.
"I don't know if I putted like that on the PGA Tour, ever," Couples said. “That was something. I hit the ball well, made a lot of putts and it all added up to a 63.”
A Champions Tour rookie, he started the final round in third place and was two strokes behind the leader after 10 holes on Sunday. He then recorded an eagle and five birdies to play the last eight holes in seven under and secure the win going away.
“Fred needed only 24 putts during the last round, and any time he’s rolling the ball like that it’s going to take a remarkable effort to beat him,” said Jesper Thuen, sponsor and event manager, for Ecco Golf. “He started out the year in tremendous form and is really well positioned going into the Charles Schwab Cup Championship.”
In addition to Fred Couples, Ecco golf shoes are worn in competition by many international Tour stars, including Thomas Bjorn, Aaron Baddeley, Stuart Appleby, Bradley Dredge, Jennifer Johnson, Iben Tinning and Linda Wessberg.
