1992 Masters Tournament Goes to Couples
Winner: Fred Couples, 275
Where it was played: Augusta National Golf Club, Augusta, Georgia
Tournament dates: April 9-12, 1992
Leader after first round: Lanny Wadkins and Jeff Sluman, 65
Leader after second round: Craig Parry and Ian Woosnam, 135
Leader after third round: Craig Parry, 204
Notable Notes: Fred Couples took advantage of a little luck and third-round leader Craig Parry's bad stumble to win his only major. Parry, leader after the second and third rounds, soared to a 78 in Round 4.
Couples' final-round tee shot to the par-3 12th was short of the green and hit the sloping bank above the water - a position from which nearly all balls roll into the water. Couples' didn't, somehow, and he made par. He finished two strokes ahead of runner-up Raymond Floyd, who, at age 49, was the oldest Masters runner-up to this point.
