the leaders, fred couples and tom watson. tom shot a 5 under 67, one stroke behind the leaders. n. remember he should have won the british open last summer. he played great today. you figure a guy his age will have one good round and fall off the table but he did it at the british open. he did it at the british open. so he might do it again. meanwhile, fred couples at 50 years old and with a terrible back somehow shot a 6 under 66 to take the lead. he's playing in sneakers with no socks. he has to wear these shoes with special soles to help his back. no socks. he's as casual as they come but winning the tournament at 6 under par. again, tiger at 4 under. you see phil mickelson in the hunt at 5 under. that is a great leaderboard. tiger woods teeing off just after 10:30 eastern time. we send it back to washington for a little -- yes, mike, go ahead. >> listen, i played last week. 3 over par. so i'll have you know, i'm okay. if it wasn't for the whale's mouth where i missed like three shots in a row, i would have had par. >> those are the hardest ones getting it into the whale's mon

and 60-year-old tom watson tied for second place.lmost won the british open last year. people thinking he might have a shot here as well. >> all right. i've got to say i'm not calling 50 years old old, i'm just saying for golfers, they are old. i don't want the e-mails, willie. >> reporter: that was ageist, contessa, really. >> i'm not an ageist. really, i'm not. >>> michigan congressman bart stupak makes a major decision not to seek another term in congress. major in the wake of the president's health care law. chr luke, let me begin with you, did he feel the pressure? >> he was burned out. congressman stupak really went through a lot during this health care process. he had a lot of friends on the republican side. a lot called him a traitor. a lot on the democratic side said he was a sellout and blocking health care reform. that being said bart stupak is a former state trooper, a weathered soul who has gone through a lot in his life. i mentioned earlier his oldest son committed suicide on mother's day in 2000. he came back and press

tom watson, who's one of the great players of all time, is only one shot out of the lead.ut you would think... there are 96 players this this field jim but you would think there was just one player in this field. >> lehrer: what was the affect of tiger woods' absence on golf up until today? >> well, very simply, jim, everything in golf doubles when tiger woods is involved. quite literally. television ratings double. corporate involvement doubles. overall fan interest, ticket sales double. there are two groups of people who watch the game of golf in the tiger woods era. one are the golf fans who just want to see whomever is playing and whomever is on the leader board. the other are people who only want to watch tiger woods and since this all began on november 27 it's interesting that people have sort of broken into two camps, the golf fans want to know what he did, why he did it, how it came about. the tiger woods fans just want to see him doing what he was doing today-- which is playing golf. >> lehrer: if he's going to have... is it... comeback 0, of course, is the word h

and then tom watson at 60 ties for his lowest round of 67. the last time he had that was in 1977. remember, he has a replaced hip, so hopefully he got a good massage b over the night. he had his son on the bag, by the way, said that inspired him. and then, you know, you have the koreans in there, yi yang, who beat tiger, k.j.choi, the field will be cut down to 44 players by the end of the day, plus anyone who is in the top ten of the leaders. but this will be an incredible golf tournament. i'm sure espn is pumped up to have it again. then cbs in the weekend. maybe cbs can start advertising tiger now, do you think? >> we'll see. we talked about the ad yesterday. they always say the masters begins sunday afternoon, really. but even at this early stage, who are you watching? is watson is a favorite, couples, what? >> no. i mean, i guess people don't give watson the benefit of the doubt because of what happened at the british open. i mean, is it just -- is it just so hard, couples would be nice. but i think people are watching tiger still, anthony kim is at 4 under par. it's way too e

you know tom watson as well as anybody. i'll ask about him first. he said he thought he was a ceremonial imofler here. but you got a little insight that the fire in the belly belies that comment? >> tom is such a competitor. he may talk about being the ceremonial golfer. but if he gets on out there and plays well, you can click into remembering how to play this golf course. he got off to a good, solid start. he had some wonderful shots and made birdies finishing up. so i'm sure he's enjoying his dinner tonight. >> fred couples was the man you had among your three that you narrowed down this week. he's rolling on the champions tour, and rolling on the green. when he putts, he still has the length of anybody out here. is he a four-day story here potentially? >> i think he is. i truly believe he is. he has length. usually as you get older, you lose some of that length. freddy's hitting it as far as he's ever hit it. he's putting maybe better than he's ever putted. he's got more confidence. i think he's going to be there until the end. >> last quick tho

so many story lines from tiger's return to this entire situation to lee westwood -- tom watson at the beginning showing very strong leading the first day afterwards. this is the story line -- >> freddie couples. >> this is the one people wanted to see. >> i have one of the belly putters like preddee and my stroke -- his worse stroke is my best stroke. nobody played better than couples at 50. he was right around the hole. and then you had the whole narrative of the -- you see "the post" or "the daily news" tomcat tiger loses to family man, good guy phil. the only thing is a little bit almost too pat. >> good to watch and to actually see them tearing up. there are a lot of business people who had a lot riding on this. >> mickelson's masters win means golf smith will now be giving away thousands of drivers for free. the company's ceo joins us from florida this morning. good morning. tell us about this, marty. what are you doing? >> we're giving away about a million dollars in free drivers between people that purchased callaway drivers and those that signed up for a free giveaway. had ove
