Another One –Stroke Lead

Aug. 20, 2011 - PRLog -- Jeff Sluman shot a 6-under 65 on Thursday to take a one-stroke lead after the first round of the Senior Players Championship, the Champions Tour's final major of the season. Interestingly, Fred Couples shot a 5-under 66 on Friday to take a one-stroke lead after the second round

Couples is at 8 under for the tournament and trying for his fifth Champions Tour victory. Playing in his first event since undergoing non-traditional back treatment six weeks ago in Germany, Couples has put together two solid rounds at Westchester Country Club's tree-lined West Course.

"I drove the ball very well," Couples said. "I didn't make many mistakes. ... I don't want to say I left any out there. I did miss a couple but I made a few too, so it was a good day." It seems that his Discount Golf Equipment brings him good luck.

Couples turned in his best two opening rounds since the Northern Trust Open in California in February. After a seventh-place finish there, Couples struggled in his next three tournaments, which led him to have the procedure.

Couples seemed headed toward a strong round Thursday but faltered on the back nine. He was in danger of a repeat after bogeying No. 12 but rescued the round with birdies on the 13th and 15th holes, sinking Discount Golf Clubs of 15 and eight feet.

"To be in contention is good for me, to go out Saturday and kind of get the feeling of having to hit a good shot here, make a putt there or get it up and down," Couples said. "So I'm in good spirits about the way I'm feeling and playing."

Pavin finished below par for the 18th time in 19 rounds, hitting the fairway all 14 times with his iron set. That set him up for birdie on No. 14 after bogeying the previous two holes, but Pavin could not get closer to the lead.

"I played well when I've been around the lead," said Pavin, who has yet to win a Champions Tour event. "It's just that http://www.discountgolf4sale.com/Discount-336-Mizuno-2008... someone has always played a little bit better."

The Tour is still on, who will be the champion? It seem that it is unknown.
