Joined the PGA TOUR Champions midway through the season after turning 50 in July and made his debut at the U.S. Senior Open when he played on a special exemption for the USGA. Finished 46th on the final money list in just 10 starts.

Made PGA TOUR Champions history when, in his ninth career round, he carded a 13-under-par 59 Saturday at the Dick's Sporting Goods Open, the first sub-60 score in the annals of the circuit. Was 11-under for his first 11 holes, eventually making 12 birdies and an eagle along with a bogey at the final hole. Shot 9-under 28 on the first nine, tying the all-time PGA TOUR Champions record in relation to par (Jay Sigel, 9-under 27 at the 1998 Bell Atlantic Classic). His run of seven birdies and an eagle on the first nine also tied Sigel's all-time mark for the best birdie-eagle stretch in Tour history. Took a one-stroke lead into the final round but shot 74 Sunday to eventually finish T7.

On the leaderboard after the second round of the SAS Championship and eventually finished T5 at Prestonwood CC.
