Fred Couples Hit Quotations

I didn't change my stroke, but I just hit the birdie putt way too hard.

I can't speak for Ben. What he has done is miraculous. For him to - he doesn't hit the ball a long way - I'm sure he's going into these greens with long irons. I was driving it (Friday) to where I had 9-irons and wedges to a lot of holes.

I watched a great player win his second Masters. He hit the ball solid, where he was looking and it was an easy, easy 69.

I saw a doctor and got some stuff, and today I didn't really hit many balls on the range. I kind of just screwed around. I love the course, and I figured no matter how bad I felt I could get around and have a decent score.

When you see her hit a golf ball, nothing prepares you for it. It's just the scariest thing you have ever seen.

We thought it was the greatest thing ever. He was not going to hit in this rain. I bet we waited seven or eight minutes, and he just stood there. Then they blew the siren, he marked his ball and we went inside. They washed out the round and the next day we re-paired in threes. I either didn't get him, or I had someone else with us so I wasn't as nervous about getting in his way.

But No. 4, I just felt like under the wrong circumstances, it's just going to be awfully hard. But everyone's got to do it. Stronger players can maybe hit a 3-iron up high and stop it. But with the utility clubs, those go just as high and soft. There will be a bit of club changing.

Age is a factor. I just feel like I can save a shot or two on the course if everything is going OK and you're into the round. It seems like I've had really good finishes here and my length has been a key to that. But I still have to go out and hit the ball. It doesn't help me if I'm playing it from the shrubs.

It was a lot of fun. I watched a great player win his second Masters and from tee to green I thought I played well. He hit the ball really, really well. He hit the ball where he was looking. It was an easy 69.

It's perfect for you, the way you hit your 5-wood.

The last day, I hit 3-wood into No. 1.

In my opinion, for Phil it was reckless abandon. I don't think he played crazy golf. But when your eye sees a shot and you hit it, it's a lot of fun. When you don't hit it, you've made a mistake. He may have lost a few tournaments by doing that, but he has won a few by doing it, too. It's just when you try to do it in a major, it can backfire pretty quickly.

I held us back, ... basically said, 'Just hit it and we'll go find it. I'll carry us.'

I don't know. I just closed my eyes and hit it and it went in.

This is my favorite course. If you hit the ball a long way, you have a bit of an advantage.
