Help with sunflare removal

[mrswright5]

I'm not sure if you'll get this in time, but I have a strict deadline for this photo. It was a last-minute shoot for a publication (just shot an hour ago), and I need it by tomorrow.

I need help removing the sun flare on the bottom half of the photo. It cuts through the couple as I'm sure you can see.. 

I am going to try increasing the contrast masked onto the bottom to help with the haze, but how should I take the yellow down? A color balance layer with blue added? 

I appreciate any help you can give!

A levels layer, with the black slider on the Red channel at about 30, and the black slider on the Green channel at about 20.

Thank you!!! With contrast this is the result:
