Yesterday, Fred Couples barely make the cut at the Masters, by getting an up and down from 15 feet. This ties the Masters record of making the cut at 23 times. It is a particularly impressive feat for a guy with a wrecked back playing in cold weather. And given his impressive play at last year's Masters, this is not just a meaningless record of someone past his prime.
I was talking with someone the other day about Fred Couples, and we've decided he might just be the coolest guy on the planet. There might be athletes who are hipper, or more automatic, or with more successful overall careers or more money, but truly, who is cooler than Fred? Seriously, if you were to do a bracket of all the coolest public figures in the world, who could beat Freddie? I can't think of anyone.
For example, I usually believe that visors on men are usually kind of a girly, affected look, but Fred makes it work. If you are a fan-o-Fred, check out the above YouTube. The video is longish and cheesily put together, and it doesn't even begin to demonstrate the coolest that is Fred, but it's still worth watching.
