Jerry West on Fred Couples

Jerry West, executive director of the Northern Trust Open, was happy to see his friend in the lead at the Northern Trust Open. West and Couples attended a Lakers game together recently.
Couples had a two-shot lead after the second round, but now is tied for second with kevin Na and trails Aaron Baddeley by one shot.
``What you see with him is what you get,'' West said. ``He's one of the truly nice people. If you took a popularity vote out here of all the players, I bet he'd be close to a unanimous choice. He has such a nice way about him and smile.''
