Fred Couples earns first Champions victory
NAPLES, Fla. (AP) Fred Couples earned his first Champions Tour victory Sunday, overcoming a record-tying round by Tommy Armour III to win the ACE Group Classic.
Couples, who had a five-shot lead at one point, had to make a 5-foot birdie putt on No. 17 and a tap-in par on the final hole for his first victory since the 2003 Shell Houston Open.
Armour tied the tour record for lowest score in relation to par with an 11-under 61 but finished one back of Couples, who shot an 8-under 64 to finish at 17-under 199.
Scott Hoch, the 2008 champion, finished third at 9 under for the tournament.
Couples was in contention in his Champions Tour debut last month in Hawaii, but Tom Watson birdied the last two holes to beat him by a stroke.

All About Golf Tips: the 7 Iron Chip
By Will Allen
The All About Golf Tips 7 Iron Chip which is THE BEST WAY for the majority of amateur golfers to get the ball close to the hole, is also sometimes referred to as the “chip and run.” The simplicity of this 7 Iron shot is the reason for it’s great effectiveness. Breaking the shot down to it’s basic, simple swing allows up to drastically lower the margin of error one would make using the classic chip shot. Here is the All About Golf Tips Strategy for hitting this simple shot: When the ball is in a position just off the green surface, get into a setup position exactly the same as you would during a full swing shot. Then choke down about two or three inches on the club. Move slightly closer to the ball to accommodate the choke. Make a stoke similar to a putting stroke only slightly harder. All About Golf Tips recommends that when you initally start using this shot you spend some time practicing it. All great golfers know that repetition is key to excellence. Also, All About Golf Tips knows that it takes practice to familiarize yourself with the distance control needed with different sized swings. Because the seven iron has much more loft than the putter it will be necessary to make a putting stroke. This putting stroke will be for a putt of the same length but only slightly larger than one used with a putter. This is a direct result of the energy of the stroke being used to hit the ball up (due to the loft) rather than 100% of the energy directed to forward movement as is the case with a putt on the greens surface. All About Golf Tips.com recommends that you only use this shot when the carry distance (or the distance it needs to travel in the air) is short enough to land the ball on the green (or the fringe). All About Golf Tips.com also wants you to remember when considering this shot that the ball will roll according to the flow of the green.
