"Christian Stratton Couch" is an American professional golfer who currently plays on the PGA Tour.

Couch was born in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. He accepted an athletic scholarship to attend the University of Florida in Gainesville, Florida, where he played for coach Buddy Alexander's Florida Gators men's golf team in National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) competition from 1992 to 1995. As a sophomore, he was a member of the Gators' 1993 NCAA championship team that also included future PGA Tour golfer Brian Gay. During his time as a Gator golfer, the team also won Southeastern Conference (SEC) championships in 1992, 1993 and 1994. Couch was recognized as the SEC Freshman of the Year in 1992, a second-team All-SEC selection in 1993 and 1994, and a first-team All-SEC selection in 1995. In 1993 and 1995, he received All-American honors.

Couch turned professional in 1995. It took him a long time to get established and his first couple of spells on the PGA Tour ended when he failed to win enough money to retain his tour card. He won five times on the Nationwide Tour between 2001 and 2005, and in 2006 he made a breakthrough by winning the PGA Tour's Zurich Classic of New Orleans. He won with a 55 foot chip-in (using a cross-handed grip) after a poor shot out of a difficult lie in a bunker.

Some guys don't like it. But if she can make it out here, I'd love to see it. Look at what it's done for this tournament. If you're going to give anyone an exemption, it might as well be here.

You can tell she had a lot of pressure on her. She's got a long way to go. She's got a lot of learning to do, and as competitive as she is, when she's done we're all going to be in trouble.

I just tried it out and I love it now. I've got my home with me and it's nice to come off the golf course everyday and be at home.

I was hoping to get up near the lead and I was able to do that, ... My goal was to shoot four-under so I did one better than that.

I'm looking forward to it. I knew she was playing, and I thought it'd be pretty cool if I got paired with her. I'm looking for a sponsorship for my bag, and it would be good to get some TV time.

Tiger was only 13 then, ... That was the last time I ever beat him at anything.

I was hitting balls on the range the other day next to her, and she swings it really good. She's a lot bigger than I thought. She has a lot of power. I'm excited about it and I'm excited about getting back on Tour. My adrenaline was pumping as soon as I landed (in Hawaii).

One of my goals is to get the Battlefield promotion, ... So it is on my mind, but I'm trying not to dwell on it. This is definitely the closest I've been since I got my second win.
