Fred Couples rallies to win Champions event in Wisconsin (Jun 25, 2017)

MADISON, Wis. (AP) Fred Couples rallied to win the American Family Insurance Open on Sunday for his second PGA Tour Champions title of the year and 13th overall.

The 57-year-old Couples closed with a 6-under 66 in cool and windy conditions at University Ridge for a two-stroke victory over Scott Verplank. Couples birdied six of the first 11 holes and finished at 15-under 201.

”I am thrilled that I hit the ball very, very well today,” said Couples, coming off a seven-week break. ”When you’re off, you kind of get excited to play.”

Couples also won the 50-and-over tour’s Chubb Classic in February in Florida.
