Had a remarkable second half to his season and made more than 80 percent of his seven-figure earnings' total in the last seven of his 14 starts. Was the fourth of eight two-time winners on the Champions Tour and perhaps the circuit's best player during the summer when he was selected as the Player of the Month for both August and September. Reeled off a Champions Tour season-best of 25 consecutive rounds of par or better (late May-early October). Also strung together a stretch of 212 holes without a three-putt during the year.

Came from five strokes back in the final round to win the inaugural Pacific Links Hawaii Championship in mid-September. Playing in a group one in front of 36-hole leader Bill Glasson, he birdied his final two holes, including a clutch 20-footer on the 54th hole to move into a tie for the lead at 14-under. However, moments later Glasson missed a 10-foot putt for par which would have sent the pair into a playoff. Victory in Hawaii was his second win in three starts. Played all 54 holes without a bogey, becoming the 14th tournament winner in history to accomplish the feat as well as the first since David Frost at the 2010 3M Championship.

In mid-August, ended a victory drought of more than 16 years when he won the Dick's Sporting Goods Open in a playoff with Michael Allen, becoming the 12th open qualifier in Champions Tour history to do so and the first since Rod Spittle at the 2010 AT&T Championship. Claimed the Dick's Sporting Goods Open title with a par-4 on the first extra hole after Allen found the water off the tee. Got into the overtime session with a clutch 35-foot birdie putt on the final hole of regulation. Prior to triumph at Dick's event, last win came on the PGA TOUR at the 1996 Deposit Guaranty Golf Classic.

In between victories, was in the mix again at the Boeing Classic, where he trailed by two shots after 36 holes and, playing in the final grouping, carded a final-round 70 to finish third in Seattle.

Was also T5 in San Antonio despite not posting any score in the 60s at the AT&T Championship.

In his only PGA TOUR start, finished T18 at the True South Classic in July, his first top-25 finish on TOUR since 2004.
