• Invensys Classic at Las Vegas: T25 at the Invensys Classic of Las Vegas produced lone top-25 finish of the season.
• Phoenix Open: Made history in the first round of the Phoenix Open, recording an ace on the 333-yard, par-4 17th hole. Magee's drive bounded onto the green at the TPC of Scottsdale, caromed off Tom Byrum's putter and went into the hole for what was believed to be the first hole-in-one on a par 4 in TOUR history. "It looked like a hole-in-one and sounded like a hole-in-one. But I still wasn't sure it was one," Magee said. Byrum was squatting down looking over a putt when the ball deflected off his putter and rolled about 8 feet directly into the hole for a rare double-eagle ace. Magee's opening 66 was two strokes behind leaders Brad Elder, Scott Verplank and Tom Lehman. Finished T44.

2000 Season
