2011: Made just 10 starts on the Champions Tour due to a series of nagging injuries, the fewest number of appearances he's made in a full Champions Tour season.

His best performance came in mid-April at the Outback Steakhouse Pro-Am, a T17 at TPC Tampa Bay. 2010: Managed to record a pair of top-10 performances in the first half of the season.

Played in the last group on Sunday for the first time in over a year, at The Principal Charity Classic, and a 45-foot par-saving putt on the last hole gave him a T5, his best effort since finishing second at the 2009 AT&T Champions Classic. Second-round 65 at Glen Oaks was his low score of the season.

Briefly took the outright lead in the event with a birdie on the 11th hole but dropped into a tie after making a bogey at the par-3 16th (tee shot in water). Performance at Valencia CC was his best on the Champions Tour since 2006 Constellation Energy Classic (T2).

Had been in contention down the stretch a month earlier at The ACE Group Classic before finishing T3 in Naples. Was the co-leader after the first round and just one stroke off the lead after 36 holes at TPC Treviso Bay.

Made a hole-in-one on No. 3 in the final round of the Allianz Championship. Used a 7-iron on the 167-yard hole at Glen Oaks CC. It was his second Champions Tour ace to go with three PGA TOUR holes-in-one. 2008: Recorded his best performance in a major since the 2004 Senior British Open (T5) when he T6 at the Senior PGA Championship. Even-par 70 Sunday at Oak Hill, one of just seven par-or-better scores in the final round, moved him up. 2007: Missed nearly two months of action due to a bulging disc in his neck. Did not play from late May until mid-July.

A closing-round 67 was instrumental in his T4 finish at the Walmart First Tee Open at Pebble Beach. 2006: Opened his season with a runner-up finish at the MasterCard Championship at Hualalai. Shared the first-round lead with Loren Roberts and Tom Watson after carding a 9-under 63 and then took sole possession of the 36-hole lead with a tournament-record 17-under 127. Two-day score on the Big Island matched the Champions Tour all-time record in relation to par. Seemed poised for victory until Roberts passed him on the back nine Sunday, and he eventually ended one stroke short despite shooting a final-round 65. His 24-under 192 at Hualalai was the lowest 54-hole score ever posted on the Champions Tour that didn't win.

Birdied the final two holes Sunday to post a closing-round, 7-under-par 65 that earned a berth in a three-man playoff with Tom Purtzer and eventual winner Mark McNulty. Bogeyed the first extra hole and was eliminated before McNulty won the title.

Fired successive rounds in the 60s at the Blue Angels Classic and matched his Champions Tour career-best with a final-round 63, which helped him to a T3. His weekend rounds of 66-63 gave him a 36-hole total of 129, matching the best final 36-hole total for the year on the Champions Tour. 2004: Underwent hernia surgery in the spring and also battled back problems in the latter stages of the campaign.

Made nice showing at the Senior British Open. Shared the first- and second-round leads at Royal Portrush GC and remained in the hunt all four days before eventually finishing T5 in Northern Ireland, three behind winner Pete Oakley. His opening-round, 3-under-par 69 included consecutive eagles on Nos. 9 and 10. 2003: Underwent surgery on January 3 at the Hughston Clinic in Columbus, GA, to repair a labrum tear in his left shoulder. Originally injured the shoulder in the spring of 2002, hitting balls on a wet surface at Bruno's Memorial Classic.

Was scheduled to return to the circuit in April but re-injured the shoulder during rehab and did not start his season until the Columbus Southern Open in mid-May with a T45 in Georgia.

Completed his comeback with a three-stroke victory at the Allianz Championship in Iowa, thanks to three consecutive sub-70 rounds. Used an eagle on the par-5 11th hole at Glen Oaks to overtake Rick Rhoden and then cruised to an easy victory.
