2011: Played in just two Champions Tour events during the year, spending the majority of his time working on CBS Sports' golf telecasts of PGA TOUR events. Teamed with Joe Ozaki to finish T3 at the Liberty Mutual Legends of Golf. Duo shot 26-under 190 score for three days, one stroke short of being part of the playoff finish. Was T78 in his Champions Tour debut, at the Toshiba Classic. Near the end of the year, won his first event in almost 20 years when he claimed the Australian Legends Tour Championship, a six-stroke triumph at Byron Bay GC. 2010: Again, worked a full schedule of golf broadcasts for CBS Sports. Late in the season, made his first start in a senior event when he played in the Handa Australian Senior Open and finished T15 at Royal Perth GC. |
