PGA TOUR staff

• Three players have won the Los Angeles stop on the PGA TOUR and the L.A. stop on the Champions Tour. Gil Morgan won the Nissan Open in 1978 and 1983 and has won the AT&T Champions Classic in 1996, 1997 and 2004. Tom Kite won on the PGA TOUR in 1993 and twice on the Champions Tour (2002, 2006) while Tom Purtzer won on the TOUR in 1979 and the Champions Tour in 2003.

• More on Morgan: He has an amazing record at the AT&T Champions Classic. In 11 starts in the event, Morgan has racked up seven top-3 finishes and eight top-10 finishes. In six starts at Valencia CC, Morgan has a win, two seconds and a third.

• Loren Roberts posted three more par-or-better rounds last week to run his streak of consecutive par-or-better scores to 32. That ties the all-time Champions Tour mark first set by Larry Nelson in 2000. He goes for the record this week at the demanding Valencia CC north of Los Angeles.

• Dave Stockton shot a second-round 65 last week at the Toshiba Classic to equal his age for the first time in his Champions Tour career.

• Ben Crenshaw's T3 last week in California was his best finish to date on the Champions Tour.
