Life turns sweet for Couples

Still known as Boom Boom, the reality these days is that Couples is no longer alongside the big hitters off the tee. Still, 49th position at only a few inches off 290 yards isn't bad for a 40- something struggling with back spasms.

Those following Couples at Loch Lomond this week will get the best of the views - and then some more. Fred, meanwhile, will be his usual languid self. Despite his new found ethic, he pointed out: "Once I let golf dominate my whole life. I refuse to do that any more."

Go, Freddie, go.
