With just a few holes left to play on Friday, it looked like 65-year-old Fred Couples and 67-year-old Bernhard Langer were going to defy the odds and make it through to Masters weekend. While a couple of late stumbles saw both of them miss out by the narrowest of margins, it did not diminish the magnitude of what both these great champions achieved on Thursday and Friday at Augusta National. With Langer averaging little over 250 yards off the tee against a field average of 295 yards, to miss out by just a single stroke was nothing short of remarkable, and Couples was just a shot further back - ahead of the likes of Adam Scott and Brooks Koepka.
