Fred Couples nearly picked off his first PGA Tour Champions victory in almost five years.
The 62-year-old Couples was looking for a caddie for the Mitsubishi Electric Classic in Atlanta and hooked up with a familiar name, only this time it was the son of his former caddie who was by his side.
“I came here and told a lot of people that, yeah, I’ve got LaCava caddying for me,” Couples recounted, referring to Joe LaCava who worked for him for 22 years. “I didn’t really say, Joseph (the name of LaCava’s son). So he came and they all knew who he was immediately. He’s a superstar.”
