GOLF ROUNDUP : Couples-Love Team Goes for Three
Fred Couples and Davis Love III moved one round closer to knocking Jack Nicklaus and Arnold Palmer out of the record books at the World Cup of Golf.
Couples, who had a third-round 68, and Love, who shot 69, lost four strokes off their lead as the U.S. representative in the 32-country field at Dorado Beach, Puerto Rico, but it was still nine shots to second-place Zimbabwe.
Couples and Love were 34 under par after three trips around the Hyatt Dorado Beach east course. They are looking for their third consecutive title in the event and that would break their tie with Nicklaus and Palmer, who combined to win the title in 1962 and 1963.
Couples leads the individual competition at 20-under 196.
