Fred Couples' chances of making the Masters cut fell apart when the back nine at Augusta National continued to bite him, ending his run for the weekend. Couples was 1-under-par for the day and 5 over for the tournament, hovering around the projected cut line. His performance was marred by a quadruple bogey on the par-3 12th and a double-bogate on the 11th hole. Despite these efforts, Couples missed the cut for the seventh consecutive time in eight years. The 1992 Masters champion completed his 41st Masters and expressed his love for the course.
