Round was his best on the SENIOR TOUR since he posted a 61 in the final round of the 1994 Ralphs Senior Classic. The score also made him the second-youngest player in SENIOR TOUR history to better his age (Joe Jimenez shot 63 at age 65 in the 1991 GTE Northwest Classic). Eventually tied for fifth in the rain-shortened event, his best performance since the 1999 campaign.
