Career Highlights

2011: Equaled his career-best finish on the Champions Tour when he was T6 at the SAS Championship. Was two-strokes off the first-round lead and final-round 70 at Prestonwood moved him up.

Was also T18 at the Mississippi Gulf Resort Classic.

Made a start at the PGA TOUR's Viking Classic and finished 73rd overall. 2010: Made 12 starts on the Champions Tour after turning 50 in mid-July, with two top-10 finishes in those dozen appearances. His most-successful outing came in August at the JELD-WEN Tradition in Oregon. Making just his fourth start since turning 50, he was among three players two strokes behind Tom Lehman after 54 holes, but a final-round 72 eventually led to a T6 finish.

Added a second top-10 finish to his resume when he was T10 at the inaugural Posco E&C Songdo Championship in South Korea in September.

Missed the cut in his debut at the Senior British Open, but bounced back the following week with a T12 effort at the U.S. Senior Open at Sahalee.

Attended the 2010 Champions Tour National Qualifying Tournament at TPC Eagle Trace and finished 11th after a seven-hole playoff with Steve Haskins, who made birdie on the seventh hole to claim the 10th spot.
