Former Masters winner Couples comes out on top


Former Masters champion Fred Couples overhauled Paul Broadhurst's two-stroke lead to win the American Family Insurance Championship in Madison, Wisconsin.

The 57-year-old Couples, whose sole major win came at Augusta in 1992, birdied six of his first 11 holes en route to a final-round 66 and a two-shot victory.

England's Broadhurst had slipped to fifth following a one-over 73 that featured four bogeys while Scott Verplank carded 69 to take second place. Joe Durant and Steve Stricker were joint third.
