Started the week as the second alternate, but gained entry when D.A. Weibring withdrew. Took full advantage, shooting rounds of 66-65 and sat in a tie for third after two rounds.

Ensure Classic at Rock Barn: Broke through for his first victory since his 2002 Korn Ferry Tour win with a one-stroke triumph over Fred Couples at the Ensure Classic at Rock Barn. Win in North Carolina came in dramatic fashion. Started the final round five strokes behind Couples, but closed with an 11-under-par 61, his career-low score, and then secured the title when Couples missed a birdie chance at No. 18. It was the largest come-from-behind win on the PGA TOUR Champions in 2010 and his 61 tied the lowest final-round score by a tournament winner in PGA TOUR Champions history (Rocky Thompson at the 1994 GTE Suncoast Classic; Loren Roberts at the 2006 MasterCard Championship at Hualalai; David Frost at the 2010 3M Championship). It tied the 18-hole tournament record as well set by R.W. Eaks in 2008 (first round). The victory also made him the fourth player to have won on all three Tours and earned him an immediate one-year exemption. Check for $262,500 was the largest of his career.
