Moved into contention in Tampa after shooting 5-under 66 in the second round and eventually finished T6 at the Encompass Insurance Pro-Am.

2011: Enjoyed his best year since 2005 on the PGA TOUR, finishing among the Champions Tour's top-10 money-winners for the first time, thanks to the biggest triumph of his career.

His eight top-10s were more than he had in his first two years on the Champions Tour combined and started the season with five straight top-10s, three of them coming in Florida events.

His first Champions Tour win was a memorable one. Led wire to wire in late July to capture the U.S. Senior Open at Inverness in Toledo. Opened with a 7-under-par 64 (lowest first-round score by a winner in the event), added a 6-under-par 65 to his scorecard in the third round and then held off Mark O'Meara in the final round for a three-stroke victory. Capped the championship by draining a 30-foot birdie putt at the 72nd hole. Became the fifth player to secure his first Champions Tour title at the U.S. Senior Open and just the second player in U.S. Senior Open history to lead from start to finish, joining Dale Douglass (1986). Victory earned him a check for $500,000, the largest in Champions Tour history, and triumph also gave him at least one win on all three Tours (Ron Streck, Keith Fergus, Tom Lehman and Gary Hallberg). Set a U.S. Senior Open nine-hole scoring record with a 5-under-par 29 on the back nine in the third round.

Followed his Senior Open triumph with T8 finish at the 3M Championship. Posted 63 in the final round, the low score of the tournament, and his career-best on the Champions Tour. Sunday score vaulted him up 40 spots and helped to move him past the $1-million mark in single-season earnings for the first time on the Champions Tour.

Kicked off his season with a T4 at the Allianz Championship. Playing in his first round of the year, made an ace on the par-3 eighth hole at The Old Course at Broken Sound. It was his first Champions Tour ace, becoming the fourth player to make at least one hole-in-one on the PGA TOUR, Champions Tour and Nationwide Tour (Dave Barr, Chip Beck and Jim Thorpe).

Followed performance at the Allianz Championship with a T6 at the ACE Group Classic in Naples, T8 at the Toshiba Classic, T5 at the Mississippi Gulf Resort Classic and T7 at the Outback Steakhouse Pro-Am. Run of five straight top-10s included a streak of 15 straight sub-par scores.

Late in the year, was T4 at the rain-shortened Insperity Championship.

Made one start on the PGA TOUR but missed the cut at the Crowne Plaza Invitational at Colonial in Fort Worth. 2010: Missed just one event for which he was eligible (Mississippi Gulf Resort Classic) and improved 15 spots to 25th on the final money list in his first full Champions Tour season.

Played his best golf in early August. Closed with a bogey-free, 5-under 65 at the U.S. Senior Open to move into a T3 at Sahalee, his career-best performance on the Champions Tour at the time. Sunday round matched the tournament-low and included a front-nine of 5-under 30, the event's best nine-hole score. 2009: Made 13 starts on the Champions Tour after joining the circuit in late May at The Principal Charity Classic (T50, after holding a share of the first-round lead).

Top efforts in his rookie year were a pair of T5 finishes.

First came at the Walmart First Tee Open at Pebble Beach. Was one stroke off the first-round lead and then rebounded from a second-round 73 with 71 Sunday, one of just 13 final rounds below par.

After winning the 1993 Monterrey Open in Mexico, gave victory speech in Spanish. Knows language because of his father's Chilean heritage.
