Career Highlights

2013 Season

After starting the campaign as a conditionally-exempt player from the 2012 National Qualifying Tournament, took advantage of open qualifying (three times) and strong tournament play to finish 44th on the money list. Earned $304,935 in his final six events ($50,823 per start) and moved up 56 spots on the money list, from No. 100 prior to his start at the Montreal Championship. Played some of his best golf in the last two months of the season, finishing in the top 10 in four of his final six starts. Also played six events on the European Senior Tour.

• Champions Tour Q-School: Attended the National Qualifying Tournament at the TPC Scottsdale in November in an attempt to try to improve his status by gaining one of the five fully-exempt positions. Could not bounce back from an opening-round 74 and eventually finished 12th overall to remain conditionally-exempt.
• AT&T Championship: Was among five players tied for the lead after 36 holes at the AT&T Championship in October in San Antonio and remained among the leaders until two bogeys and a double bogey doomed his chances over the final 10 holes. Eventually claimed a T6 showing.
• Greater Hickory Kia Classic at Rock Barn: Parlayed his SAS Championship showing into a second consecutive top-10 finish in Western North Carolina. Was tied for the first-round lead at Rock Barn before eventually finishing T6 which earned him a berth into the AT&T Championship in San Antonio the following week.
• SAS Championship: Started the week as the eighth alternate into the field at the SAS Championship but eventually got into the field. Fired three straight rounds in the 60s that led to a T5 finish near Raleigh which got him into the Greater Hickory Kia Classic at Rock Barn the following week.
• Montreal Championship: Enjoyed his top Champions Tour performance when he contended in September at the Montreal Championship, eventually finishing T4. Was on the leaderboard throughout the final round before two late bogeys proved his undoing.
• Berenberg Bank Masters: His best finish on the European Senior Tour was a T18 at the Berenberg Masters.

2012 Season

Made three Champions Tour starts. Placed sixth on the European Senior Tour Order of Merit.

• The Senior Open Championship presented by Rolex: Best effort on the Champions Tour was a T40 at The Senior Open Championship at Turnberry.
