After playing with partial status most of season, turned it around in September with second career victory at the Valero Texas Open, done in record-setting fashion with rounds of 64-62-63-65--254. The 254 total (26-under-par) broke Mark Calcavecchia's 72-hole TOUR mark of 256 set in winning at the 2001 Phoenix Open. The 54-hole total of 189 matched the TOUR record shared by Calcavecchia and John Cook (1996 FedEx St. Jude Classic). Did not post a bogey until the back nine on Sunday. In relation to par for a par-70 course, also broke the PGA TOUR record of 22-under-par set by Donnie Hammond at the 1989 Texas Open. Win was worth $630,000, the largest payday of career.
