SAN FRANCISCO -- Fred Couples won the Champions Tours season-ending
Charles Schwab Cup Championship on Sunday, and Kenny Perry topped the
yearlong points race to earn a $1 million annuity.
Couples ended a 16-event winless streak dating to the Senior British
Open in July 2012, closing with a 2-under 69 for a six-stroke victory
over Bernhard Langer, Peter Senior and Mark OMeara. The Hall of Famer
has nine victories in four seasons on the 50-and-over tour after winning
15 times on the PGA Tour.
"Its great to win. It seems like four years ago," Couples said. "Now I
have 60 days to lose all my momentum."
After playing 15 events on the Champions Tour this year and finishing
third in the points race, Couples indicated he was going to play at
least two or three more events next year and take a shot at winning the
Charles Schwab Cup. His points finish earned him a bonus $300,000
annuity.
"This tour, to win the Schwab Cup, Ill play a lot and I hope to play
well," Couples said. Id like to have the kind of year Kenny had. The
goal is to win the Cup. The goal is to play."
Couples finished at 17-under 267 at TPC Harding Park.
"This year, I wouldnt call it a waste, but it was a waste as far as not
winning," he said. "This week was different. I did not miss many shots. I
got the lead and I kept it. Im not a fierce competitor but I love the
competition. Just winning, even if its a club championship, youre
thrilled."
Langer, second behind Perry in the Charles Schwab Cup standings, shot a
67. Senior had a 69, and OMeara closed with a double bogey for a 70.
Perry had a 68 to tie for fifth at 10 under. He led the tour with three
victories, taking the Senior Players Championship and U.S. Senior Open
in consecutive tour starts and winning the AT&T Championship last
week in San Antonio.
"Its been a magical season," said Perry, who was accompanied by his
wife, three daughters, their husbands and a couple of grandchildren.
"This is my highest accomplishment. Ive been close to winning a major on
the PGA Tour and to finally win a few this year, its the things dreams
are made of."
Perry, who took over the points lead in July, joked all week about how
he had a 29-1 chance of winning the points race. Langer needed to win
the tournament and have Perry finish outside the top five to win.
"Im thinking Ive got to play," Perry said. "All year my head was
everywhere and I was trying to focus. But the dream came true. I was,
probably, playing the best golf Ive ever played. I cant wait to go out
and celebrate with my family."
Couples earned $440,000 and finished fourth on the Champions Tour money
list with $1,706,812. Langer topped the money list with $2,448,428, and
Perry was second at $2,241,188.
"Fred played very well," OMeara said. "He did what he had to do. Its not
easy with the lead. He drove the ball pretty darn good and he putted
pretty well and thats what it takes."
Cutting his teeth on a public course in Seattle, Couples said TPC
Harding Park, which will undergo an extensive renovation on the greens,
always was a special place for him.
"Ive said it all week. Its Harding Park. This is a tremendous golf
course," he said. "It doesnt seem really hard but if you miss the ball
in the wrong spot, or miss the green, it can play really hard. Its one
of my all-time favourites."

He, the 25-year-old Toronto backup net-minder and Manitoba native, would
be making just his fourth start in the past 16 games against the Jets
the following evening. It was the word of opportunity for Reimer, who
has fallen into the role of backup, outmatched in recent weeks by
Jonathan Bernier, his Quebec counterpart.

. The game had many controversial incidents that, upon closer
inspection, were not as controversial as many believed.
The Formations
Toronto FC lined up in its usual 4-4-2 formation, with Nick Hagglund
slotting in at right fullback and Bradley Orr at centreback in place of
the injured Mark Bloom and Steven Caldwell, respectively.OKLAHOMA CITY
-- Thunder guard Derek Fisher has played more playoff games than anyone
in history.
He says the Western Conference finals between the Thunder and San
Antonio Spurs, filled with major strategy shifts and home blowouts, has
produced one of the wildest series hes been involved in. San Antonio
leads 3-2 and can close out it out Saturday in Oklahoma City.
"Theres no script for this," Fisher said. "You can try to set
expectations, and everybody can sit around and try and predict whats
going to happen and which team is going to come out on top, and its just
impossible. Thats what makes sports sports, and why people are so
excited about either being there or watching it, because you never know
whats going to happen."
San Antonios Gregg Popovich and Oklahoma Citys Scott Brooks have
one-upped each other with shrewd moves during the series, and the
scoreboard has tipped dramatically with each change.
Oklahoma City came up with the first major lineup changes in Game 3.
Defensive wiz Serge Ibaka returned to Oklahoma Citys starting lineup
after suffering what was thought to be a season-ending left calf strain
and Reggie Jackson moved into the starting lineup to help the Thunder
win Game 3, 107-96, and Game 4, 105-92.
In Game 5 in San Antonio, the Spurs decision to go with
perimeter-shooting post players alongside Tim Duncan helped the teams
floor spacing, and the Spurs rolled to a 117-89 win. Matt Bonner got his
first start of the season, and his presence helped Duncan get off to a
fast start. Boris Diaw started the second half and scored seven points
in the third quarter to help the Spurs take a 20-point lead at the end
of the period. Popovichs move forced Ibaka, the leagues leading shot
blocker during the regular season, away from the basket, and the Spurs
perimeter players had an easier time getting to the hoop.
"The adjustments that the coaches made were very efficient tonight,"
Diaw said after the game. "We tried to space the floor a little more. We
camee back to the way we were aggressive in the first two
games.dddddddddddd Going from good to great. Thats what Pop has asked
all year, thats what weve been doing all year."
When Brooks was asked if he might start Ibaka at centre to prevent the
Spurs from pulling him away from the basket, Brooks ruled nothing out.
"Anythings possible," he said. "We just have to, whoever we put out
there, we just have to play better."
Thunder forward Kevin Durant said lineup changes, though important, are
secondary to effort. He said Oklahoma City did not play with enough
intensity in Game 5.
"Schemes and Xs and Os, it all goes out the door," he said. "Weve just
got to play harder. They did last game, so weve got to match up."
Brooks said the key for Oklahoma City is defence. San Antonio has shot
at least 50 per cent from the field in all three of its wins. If the
Thunder dont get stops, they cant get into their dangerous fast break
attack.
"We know their plays, they know our plays, and we just have to be able
to execute with maximum effort to give ourselves a chance to get a
stop," Brooks said. "Thats what it comes down to."
The lineup changes have coincided with venue changes. The home teams
have won every game in the series by at least nine points, and by an
average of 20.4 per game. Popovich was at a loss to explain why the
series has played out this way.
"It seems like the home team each time looks to have the greater passion
or physicality," he said. "Thats hard to measure because both teams
want to win just as bad as the other."
Durant said the effort must be there Saturday night or the trend of home
blowouts -- and Oklahoma Citys season -- will end.
"We know that its a situation where we lose, we go home, and nobody
wants to do that, so we just leave it all out there and whatever happens
we live with," Durant said. "Most of the time when we play extremely
hard, play well, play together, we come out on top."
