Fred Couples is making his first appearance at the Bass Pro Shops Legends of Golf at Big Cedar Lodge.
He arrived in the Ozarks on Wednesday night and saw the Buffalo Ridge Springs Course for the first time on Thursday morning, playing a pro-am round.
It’s a team format, with Couples paired with Jay Haas. Couples plans on leaning heavily on his partner this week.
“I usually, in best-ball things, always throw the saddle on my partner,” Couples said with a laugh. “It’s much easier and I just walk around, to be honest with you.”
Couples is one of the fan favorites on the PGA Tour Champions circuit, and he is coming off an inspiring performance at the Masters.
