Thirty-one years after his 1992 championship at Augusta, Fred Couples became the oldest player ever to make the cut at the Masters at 63.Couples entered the third round at 1 over par after following his opening-round score of 71 with a 74 on Saturday morning at Augusta National Golf Club.

Thirty-one years after his 1992 championship at Augusta, Fred Couples became the oldest player ever to make the cut at the Masters at 63.

"That's why I come here," said Couples, who last made the cut here in 2018."The last four years have been really mediocre golf. Maybe one year I was semi-close to making the cut. But that's my objective, and I did it." "When I get pumped up, I can drive it far enough where it gets them all excited," Couples said Thursday."Last year I played - I was really almost a cripple, and I was popcorning it. This year I felt pretty good. So I got it within 20 yards of them a few times, which is good."
