Newport Beach, CA – October 17, 2011 – Wearing Kaenon Polarized sunglasses, Fred Couples won the AT&T Championship, shooting a six-under, round of 66 during the final round, marking the first seven-stroke victory on the Champions Tour this year. During his winning weekend, Couples wore the Kaenon Polarized Klay Matte Black G12 sunglass model which provided complete glare reduction and harmful UV ray protection while remaining lightweight, comfortable and fashionable.
“I haven’t had a seven-shot lead since ’92 or ’90 or whenever the heck it was,” said Couples in an interview on PGATour.com. “I probably may never ever get another one. It’s a weird feeling, and I was kind of unnerved (on the front side). But once we got to the back nine I played much better and I pulled away to a lead that was plenty.”
Couples recently began wearing Kaenon Polarized sunglasses during tournament play. He has had a standout year, winning the Constellation Energy Senior Players Championship in August and, with this AT&T Champion win, has earned $957,753 in nine starts on the Champions Tour during 2011. Couples is also acting as the U.S. captain for The Presidents Cup set for next month in Australia.
