The Final Field has been announced for the Masters, and you should be able to view it here.

There are three players that'll be competing at this year's Masters with regional ties.

Most prominent among these golfers is Fred Couples.

Couples was born in Seattle, went to college in Houston, and now lives in Palm Springs. Of the three players with regional ties, Couples is the only one to win the Masters. In fact, this is the 20th anniversary of Couples's victory, capturing the green jacket in 1992.
