RYE, N.Y. Fred Couples shot a 5-under 66 on Friday to take a one-stroke lead after the second round of the Constellation Energy Senior Players Championship at the Westchester Country Club.
Couples, who recently underwent back treatment for a chronic ailment, built the lead coming off a 3-under par on Thursday and is 8-under for the tournament, one shot ahead of Peter Seniors 7-under, followed by Corey Pavin at 6-under.
"I drove the ball very well," Couples said. "I didn't make many mistakes. ... I don't want to say I left any out there. I did miss a couple but I made a few too, so it was a good day."
The Constellation Energy Senior Players Championship resumes today with the final round schedule for Sunday with the threat of rain hovering over the event which was delayed for two hours in Thursdays opening round.
"To be in contention is good for me, to go out Saturday and kind of get the feeling of having to hit a good shot here, make a putt there or get it up and down," Couples said. "So I'm in good spirits about the way I'm feeling and playing."
