SAN ANTONIO (AP) Fred Couples hopes to make himself right at home again at TPC San Antonio in the Champions Tour's AT&T Championship.
After winning in 2011, Couples missed the event last year because of a back injury. Two years ago, he shot 62-62-66 for a seven-stroke victory. He
had 26 birdies, matching the tour mark for a 54-hole event.
"I shot crazy scores," Couples said on Thursday, a day before play opens on the Pete Dye-designed AT&T Canyons Course. "There are some really hard holes that don't fit my eye, and I played them well. There were some holes that I was able to cut off the tee, or I hit the fairway on par 5s and had shorter clubs into (the green) than most."
The U.S. Presidents Cup captain is making his first start since tying for 18th last month at Pebble Beach in the First Tee Open. He's winless in 13 tour events this year and has four runner-up finishes.
"That's hard to swallow," Couples said. "I'm still not at an age where I just want to come out and play. If I'm going to do this, I'm going to compete."
