posting a pair of victories and seven top-10 finishes
in just 10 senior appearances...Led the SENIOR TOUR in

Championship at Gaillardia...Debuted on the circuit at
the SBC Senior Open near Chicago and won his first event,
the 3M Championship, in his third appearance on the circuit.
Trailed by two strokes entering the final round, but fired
a 69 at the TPC of the Twin Cities on Sunday to defeat
Doug Tewell by two strokes. Made his first hole-in-one
as a senior when he aced the 177-yard fourth hole with
an 8-iron during the second round...Also won the inaugural
SAS Championship in Raleigh, besting Allen Doyle and Gary

at Gaillardia before finishing third in each event...Had

a two-week stretch late in the season (SAS Championship,
