Saw his streak of years winning at least one event each year come to a halt (five consecutive) when he was winless in 23 starts. Enjoyed a nice two-week run in North Carolina in October.

Did have some opportunities to keep his streak alive. Was the 36-hole co-leader at the Senior PGA Championship, along with eventual winner Roger Chapman. Fell two strokes short at Harbor Shores and became the first man in Senior PGA Championship history to shoot four rounds in the 60s and not win. It was the fourth time he had finished second in four different senior major championships.

In April, he and his partner, Joey Sindelar, finished second at the Liberty Mutual Insurance Legends of Golf in Savannah. The duo finished with a 54-hole score of 28-under-par 188, including an 11-under-par 61 the final day, leaving them one stroke shy of the winning team of Michael Allen-David Frost.

At the U.S. Senior Open, shot the lowest 36-hole score on the weekend (67-66) to move into a T6 along with John Huston, four strokes back of Chapman.

Had another nice showing in a major championship when he was T6 at The Senior Open Championship at Turnberry.

Was T10 at the SAS Championship.

Was T4 the next week at the Greater Hickory Classic at Rock Barn where he opened and closed with 68s.

Got his year off to a great start with a T3 finish in defense of his title at the Mitsubishi Electric Championship at Hualalai.

Made one PGA TOUR start, at the Mayakoba Golf Classic (missed cut).
