2011: Made a strong bid for his first Champions Tour career victory win in June when he was the 18- and 36-hole leader at the Greater Hickory Classic at Rock Barn before a closing-round, 1-under-par 71 left him T8. Effort included an opening-round 9-under-par 63. 2010: Finished just outside the top-30 money-winners in his first full season on the Champions Tour.

Best performance of the season came late in the campaign when he claimed a fourth-place finish at the Ensure Classic at Rock Barn in early October. Fired a final-round, 10-under-par 62, his best round on the Champions Tour. The 62 Sunday included not only a pair of eagles but also a stretch of five holes where he was 6-under par, the season's best birdie-eagle streak. Eagle during that run was his second hole-in-one of the season, the first time a player made multiple aces in a year since Chip Beck in 2009. Used a 6-iron from 186 yards at Rock Barn's ninth hole.

Was a sixth-place finisher with teammate Blaine McCallister at the Liberty Mutual Legends of Golf in April in Savannah. The pair trailed by just one after 36 holes before closing with a 4-under-par 68 to slip to sixth. Helped his team's cause by recording his first ace of the year on the 15th hole in the second round, using an 8-iron from 157 yards. 2009: Recorded his best Champions Tour performance when he was T2 at the Administaff Small Business Classic, two strokes back of John Cook. Was in contention on the back nine but could not convert several birdie opportunities. He was the beneficiary of Jay Haas' three-putt on the final green to give him the runner-up position near Houston.
