Couples facing 'last hurrah'?

Fred Couples is the undisputed king of the silly season, a title he doesn't mind as long as it's mentioned in November instead of March. He has earned more money in his career at the Skins Game ($3.9 million) than the four majors combined ($3.5 million). Couples, one of the most popular players on the PGA Tour, has been coping with a faulty back the last 13 years, but this was the first time he wondered if his career might be over. There has been progress, however small. He played a corporate outing at The Olympic Club in August. He played a member-guest at Gozzer Ranch in Coeur D'Alene, Idaho, five nine-hole matches over three days, and finished second behind Andrew Magee. "This might be my last hurrah," Couples said. "If this doesn't work, I'll set it down and try to not worry about it."

I hope not, this guy is still one of the best guys out there. Be sad to watch him go out like this - though maybe he'll get healthy enough to come back and dominate the Champions Tour...
