Has anybody heard the latest with Freddy Couples. After withdrawing after his first tee shot at the Boeing, I have not heard an update.

Has anybody heard the latest with Freddy Couples. After withdrawing after his first tee shot at the Boeing, I have not heard an update.

I have been not able to play since May due to a back injury myself.

SNOQUALMIE — The golf circus at TPC Snoqualmie Ridge lost its biggest attraction after one shot Friday.

Suffering severe back pain, Seattle native Fred Couples withdrew before hitting his second shot on the first hole.

Couples said, "I didn't feel very good warming up. I hit the tee shot at No. 1 and then my lower back really locked up when I walked down to the second shot. It was like a bomb went off in my lower back. I think it's time to rest. I'm sad I won't be able to play in this year's event. For this to happen to me in Seattle, this is a rough one."
