Chris Couch was given four starts on a Minor Medical Extension as a result of a late-season wrist injury.
After withdrawing from the Wyndham Championship and failing to qualify for the FedExCup Playoffs, Couch did not appear in the Fall Series. For the season, he cashed in 10 of 21 starts, earning $335K. If he banks $311,662 in his first four starts, he will be promoted to the Major Medical category for the remainder of the season. (He's $138,447 short of securing conditional status.)

Chris Couch is listed in the published field of next week's McGladrey Classic.

We haven't seen the veteran since he withdrew during his second round of the Wyndham Championship with a wrist injury. He's 10-for-21 on the year and ranks 164th on the money list, so his task at Sea Island is obvious.

Chris Couch withdrew during his second round of the Wyndham Championship due to a wrist injury.

Couch was laying 4 on the green at the par-4 fourth hole when he walked off. He would have been eyeing a bogey putt from 6'1" on what was his 13th hole of the round. He was 2-over for the day as well as for the tournament. At 153rd in FedExCup points entering the week, he will not qualify for the Playoffs.

Chris Couch has been removed from the published field of this week's RBC Canadian Open.

Couch logged a season-best T13 at the True South Classic, but he's still 144th in the FedExCup standings. Admittedly forced to rest his creaky body every once in a while, this will be his first week off in the last six.

Chris Couch enters The Greenbrier Classic in search of his first top 10 of 2012.

Couch has made the cut in seven of his 16 starts including two top 25s, the most recent a T23 at THE PLAYERS. The stars could align for him this week, as he's cashed in both his trips to The Old White TPC with a T11 last year the best. He's been excellent off the tee, ranking 12th in total driving, but has only managed to hold 61.35 percent of his GIR.

Couch was the third alternate when the field was released on Friday afternoon. He gained entry when John Mallinger withdrew this morning. Couch has two top 25s among five paydays in 12 starts this year and sits 157th in FedExCup Points. He's 1-for-4 at Muirfield Village with a T51 at last year's edition.

Chris Couch's lone PGA TOUR victory came at the 2006 Zurich Classic of New Orleans, where he is in the field once again.

The Florida Gator has struggled in 2012, making only two cuts in eight tries with a season-best T19 at the Waste Management Phoenix Open. He ranks 11th in total driving and 41st in ball-striking. The problem comes when he's on the dance floor, as he's 131st in Strokes Gained-Putting.

Chris Couch signed for an even-par 33-38=71 following his opening round of the RBC Heritage.

Last time we saw the veteran he withderew after one round in Houston two weeks ago due to an unspecified injury. He seemed just fine today, at least early, going out in bogey-free 3-under with an outward nine that included a par save of 20'5" at the eighth hole and a birdie measuring 12'5" at the ninth; however, that last conversion would be his last birdie of the round. He logged bogeys at 12, 14 and 15, and then needed another par save of 11'6" at the 17th to avoid dipping into black numbers. Best of all, he was only two shots off the clubhouse lead on what is a difficult day for scoring.

Chris Couch chased his opening 67 at the Transitions Championship with a 3-under-par 34-34=68 to establish the 36-hole clubhouse lead at 7-under 135.

He hit two more greens in regulation (13) versus his opener but required five more putts (29). Couch buried three of his five birdies today on par 3s, including converions of 14'6" and 13'10" on the 15th and fourth holes, respectively. He rolled in his last birdie from 16'6" at the par-4 sixth and ended his round with a par save measuring 11'11" at the ninth.

Chris Couch carded a 4-under-par 34-33=67 in his opening round of the Transitions Championship, finished six strokes off the clubhouse lead.

He was a 36-hole co-leader at Copperhead last year before fading to finish with a share of fifth place. He hit only 11 greens today, but recorded yet another tidy round with his putter, taking it back just 24 times on them. Among his six birdies was a chip-in from 10 yards at the third hole.

Chris Couch's most recent top-10 finish came last year at the Transitions Championship where he tied for fifth, and he looks to regain that form in what has been a disappointing 2012.

Couch has only made one cut in five attempts this season. His 161st ranking in total putting is likely the major culprit and it's not a surprise given his history with the putter. Fortunately for him, putting prowess isn't necessarily a requirement for success on the Copperhead course.

Chris Couch settled for a 1-over-par 35-37=72 in his opening round of the Deutsche Bank Championship.

Couch had to call it quits after one round last week due to a back injury. It was just the third time in 18 starts that he's failed to cash, two of which were as the result of withdrawals. He hit 12 (of 14) fairways at TPC Boston today but only 11 greens. While he rolled in birdie putts of 19'7" and 11'11" at the 12th and 15th holes, respectively, and got another to fall from just off the green at the 18th, he also swallowed three bogeys and a double to finish on the wrong side of par and seven strokes adrift of the overnight lead.
