Jim Thorpe

Proving that you can play fast and play well, Jim Thorpe completed his first round last week at the Charles Schwab Cup Championship in two hours and 35 minutes. His 64 was good for the first-round lead.

More on Thorpe: Winning the season finale extended Thorpe's string of consecutive years with at least one win to a Champions-Tour best of eight. Hale Irwin holds the record, winning at least once in 11 consecutive seasons.

Tom Kite finished the year on a high note with 20 consecutive rounds of par-or-better.

Last year, Loren Roberts lost the Charles Schwab Cup points race on the final hole of the year to Jay Haas. This year, Roberts was able to secure the $1 million annuity by 165 points over Haas.
