Fred Couples is the oldest person to make the Master’s cut here’s a secret he was given about playing par fives he noticed I played par fives and I would try and go to back left pin or go to the right and I’d shorts side myself and make a par and we were at the shark shootout in Thousand Oaks at Westlake and we won but I butchered a couple times and so he looked at me he says how many Eagles you make this year cuz it was in season’s over yeah I said I don’t know not many maybe 12 and he goes yeah 12 you play 25 tournaments you’re making 12 e Les you’re trying to Eagle every part five make a four and it just stuck so now when I hit a two iron from 230 and I don’t cut it to the flag and I hit it 40 ft I’m happy with it the message is don’t be a hero Eagles don’t happen often save this and remember it on your next part five so you can play better golf

Paging Rory McIlroy to the chat.
Not sure if it was Greg Norman who told him this but he stated this dawned on him during his career as well that he had to curb his ego on Par 5's
If I can make it in 2… I’m going for it. DoD if need be.
