Season Recap
2009 Season
Enjoyed another solid year on the Champions Tour, posting 10 top-10s in 25 starts. Of those top-10s, he finished T2 at the Liberty Mutual Legends of Golf and successfully defended his Walmart First Tee Open at Pebble Beach, good for his third Champions Tour victory. Was one of only four players to compete in all 25 official events. His 51 sub-par rounds led the Champions Tour. The Champions Tour's Player of the Month in September.
Walmart First Tee Open at Pebble Beach
Was the only player to successfully defend a title, claiming a second straight Walmart First Tee Open at Pebble Beach, his third career Champions Tour win. Carded a final-round 68 that included a hole-in-one (No. 5) at Pebble Beach, the lowest score Sunday, and came from six strokes back to defeat Gene Jones by two strokes. Ace made him the first player since R.W. Eaks at the 2007 Dick's Sporting Goods Open to make a hole-in-one and go on to win. Six-shot comeback was the largest come-from-behind Champions Tour win since Denis Watson rallied from seven shots back to win in a playoff at the 2008 AT&T Champions Classic.
Liberty Mutual Legends of Golf
Almost won in late April at the Liberty Mutual Legends of Golf, where he teamed with Craig Stadler for the second straight year. The pair were tied with Bernhard Langer and Tom Lehman after 54 holes, but saw their bid for a win end with missed par putts on the second extra hole while Lehman made a short putt for par.
The ACE Group Classic
Got his season off to a fast start by posting 14 sub-par scores in his first 15 rounds. Opening-round 3-over 75 at The ACE Group Classic ended his streak of par/better scores carrying over from 2008 at 31 straight, the third-longest run in Champions Tour annals.
Charles Schwab Cup Championship
Ended his season with a T3 at the Charles Schwab Cup Championship after being tied for the opening-round lead at Sonoma GC.
Mitsubishi Electric Championship at Hualalai
Was also in contention through 36 holes of the season-opening Mitsubishi Electric Championship at Hualalai and eventually finished T4 in Hawaii.
Senior PGA Championship
Trailed by just one stroke after 54 holes at the Senior PGA Championship before a final-round, 3-over-par 73 led to a T5 finish.
U.S. Bank Championship in Milwaukee
Recorded a milestone in July when he made his 700th PGA TOUR start, playing in the U.S. Bank Championship in Milwaukee. A two-time winner of that event (1998 and 2002), he made the cut for the 15th time in 21 appearances and finished T18.
