2011: A late-season push helped him secure a 28th-place finish on the final money list.

Highlight came in October when he finished second at the rain-shortened Insperity Championship. Trailed Brad Faxon by one stroke heading into final round but did not get a chance for victory Sunday when heavy rain washed out the final round. His $149,600 paycheck vaulted him from 37th place on the money list into the top 30.

Was on the leaderboard for most of the Constellation Energy Senior Players Championship, and a final-round 70 at Westchester CC left him T6.

Two weeks earlier claimed a T8 finish at the 3M Championship after three straight rounds in the 60s.

Trailed 36-hole leader Bob Tway by just one stroke at the Greater Hickory Classic at Rock Barn in June before a final-round 70 left him T8 at the conclusion of the event.

Attempted to regain playing privileges on the PGA TOUR for 2012 by going through the fall qualifying process. After being the medalist at the second stage in Panama City, FL, advanced to the final stage in La Quinta, CA, but ended up withdrawing after five rounds of the six-round event when he was out of contention. 2010: Solid rookie season on the Champions Tour included three runner-up finishes and 10 top-10 performances in 23 starts. Ended his first season on the Champions Tour as the last of 13 players over the million-dollar mark in official earnings.

Finished second to Fred Couples in his Champions Tour debut at The ACE Group Classic in mid-February. Fired an 11-under-par 61 in the final round, matching the Champions Tour 2010 low for best score in relation to par. Trailed Couples by seven strokes after five holes on Sunday before playing the next dozen holes at 10-under to grab a share of the lead with a birdie at No. 17. However, Couples answered with a birdie at the same hole moments later to earn a one-stroke win. His 61 set a course record at The Quarry in Naples and was just one stroke shy of a career-best 60 he shot at the 1999 Las Vegas Invitational. Final round included nine birdies and an eagle.

Also finished second at the Mississippi Gulf Resort Classic, one stroke back of David Eger. Was one shot ahead of Eger after four consecutive birdies (Nos. 11-14) on the back nine on Sunday but missed a short birdie putt on the par-5 15th and then three-putted for bogey at the par-3 17th to fall back.

Registered a third runner-up finish at The Principal Charity Classic. Was tied for the 36-hole lead with Nick Price, but final-round 71 at Glen Oaks left him four strokes back at the end.

Was the 18-hole leader following a 9-under-par 63 at the 3M Championship in August near Minneapolis. Remained on the leaderboard throughout the weekend before finishing T3 with three others at the TPC Twin Cities.

Along with Tim Simpson, held a share of the 36-hole lead at the Allianz Championship. Second-round 64 at Broken Sound included a run of five consecutive birdies, tying the Champions Tour's best birdie streak in 2010.
