Fred Couples Putt Quotations

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

I felt like at least from tee to green, I was close if not maybe a little better today than these guys. But to win this thing, you've got to putt well. I wasn't horrible, but I was just mediocre. I just couldn't get one to go in the hole to get any momentum. That was disappointing. Otherwise, I liked the way I played.

When I play well, I putt pretty well. A few of them were pretty easy putts. You can not miss putts and try to win tournaments.

I thought the ball was going in the hole; someone said that was an early call. My thought was, 'Well, I think it's the only putt I made all week so I knew it was going in when it was four feet from the hole.' It looked good. It would have been embarrassing if it had lipped out.

I thought if I could play with him and handle him, several guys would be excited about that. And then the putt on the 18th was thrilling. Career-wise, it doesn't mean anything. Team-wise, it was awesome.

To hole that putt in front of everyone...I thoroughly enjoyed every minute of it, ... This is certainly exciting for me.

It was the only putt I made all week and I knew it was going in four feet from the hole. It was thrilling, it was energetic and if I can use a fuzzy word, it was karma.

This is the kind of putt an old guy can make.

I'm beating myself up, but it just really came down to one minor, minor casualty and that was on 14. I mean, I can live and die with three-putting and some of the other stuff. But that really is a putt where it would have been a heck of a lot more fun to make and see what would have happened.

I just felt like in my mind that if I was going to beat anyone, it was probably going to be their best player. I had enough of Goose in the first two matches so I selected Vijay. And to be honest, I thought if I could play with him and handle him, several guys would be excited about that. It happened that way and then the putt on the 18th was thrilling.

These guys that win this thing, you've got to putt well. Today wasn't horrible, but it was just mediocre, and I couldn't get one to go in the hole and get any momentum.
