  • Fred Funk not only won last week's Turtle Bay Championship by a record 11 strokes, he also went the entire tournament without making a bogey.

  • More on Funk: The victory boosted his all-time combined earnings on the PGA TOUR and Champions Tour over the $20-million mark.

  • Loren Roberts finished in a tie for second last week behind Funk, but in doing so he extended his streak of consecutive par-or-better rounds to 20 over the past two seasons.

  • Denis Watson also shared second last week in Hawaii for his first top-10 finish in a PGA TOUR co-sponsored event since a tie for ninth at the 1998 Greater Austin Open on the Nationwide Tour. His last top-10 on the PGA TOUR came at the 1993 B.C. Open where he finished second.

  • Hale Irwin now has 108 top-three finishes in 274 career starts on the Champions Tour-- that's 39.4 percent of the time.
