Watson holds off Couples to win Champions Tour event
January 25, 2010 by Brian · Leave a Comment
Tom Watson held off Champions Tour debutant Fred Couples to win the tour’s opening event, the Mitsubishi Electric Championship to become the 13th-oldest player to win on the Tour.
Watson, 60, had previously partnered Jack Nicklaus to win the Champions Skins tournament at Kaanapali and carded birdies on each of the closing two holes to fend off Couples, closing with a seven-under par round of 65 to finish on 22-under par. For Watson, it was his thirteenth Champions Tour win and the first time in 34 career starts he had won in Hawaii on either the PGA Tour or the Champions Tour.
Couples closed with a bogey-free round of 64 and saw a 15-foot birdie putt slip past the whole which would have put him and Watson enter a play-off but the golf legend, who came so close to a fairy-tale Open Championship win at Turnberry perhaps didn’t fancy additional holes against his younger opponent and sank his putt from just four feet following a remarkable save from the rough.
In a see-saw final nine holes Couples took his first lead by eagling the 566-yard 10th to reach 18 under by playing an iron from the first cut of rough to set up his 6-foot putt before Watson tied him on the 11th hole with a birdie from twenty feet. Couples again took the lead over Watson at the sixteenth hole with a birdie before Watson’s birdie on the seventeenth saw him tie once again with Couples before the last hole birdie which secured the win.
