ESPN’s Mike Greenberg ripped the 63-year-old’s outfit as he tried to stay in contention with the rest of the pack.
“Fred Couples, sweatshirt? He looks like he was doing some work around the house and someone reminded him of his tee time,” Greenberg tweeted.

Augusta National battled cold and gloomy weather all weekend, which was likely why Couples went with a warmer outfit.
Couples finished the final round 4-over par and 9-over par for the rest of the tournament. Couples finished up his second round early Saturday morning to be +1 for the tournament, making the cut by two strokes.
It was Couples’ 38th Masters appearance, and it’s another record for him. He, Gary Player and now Tiger Woods all share the record for most consecutive cuts made at Augusta with 23.
