| Career Highlights | |
|
Teamed with Roger Maltbie to win the 36-hole Raphael Division (for players ages 50 to 69) at the 2003, 2008 and 2009 Liberty Mutual Legends of Golf. Best career performances on the Champions Tour both came during the 2004 campaign. Was T2 at The ACE Group Classic after being involved in a three-man playoff with winner Craig Stadler and Tom Watson. Appeared to be in command with a three-stroke lead with five holes to play, but bogeyed the 14th and 17th holes to surrender his lead and then fell back into overtime after missing a long birdie try. Watched Stadler sink a 27-foot birdie putt that eliminated him. Was the first-round leader after setting a course record at The Club at TwinEagles, a 10-under-par 62, his lowest round on either the PGA TOUR or Champions Tour, that included an 8-under 28 on the back nine. Added a second T2 that year at the Liberty Mutual Legends of Golf when he and Gil Morgan finished one stroke behind Hale Irwin in Savannah, GA. |
