and lost by six strokes...Placed T10 at The Countrywide
Tradition in April after four straight par/better rounds...Was
also on the leaderboard after the first round of the Bruno's
Memorial Classic following a 5-under 67, but dropped out
of contention and finished T28 after rounds of 70-74 on
the weekend...Fired a 7-under 65 on the second day of
the NFL Golf Classic, his low round of the year and one
of the two lowest rounds in the tournament. |
| Career Highlights |
| 2000: Won multiple tournaments in the same year for
the first time since 1979...Collected a pair of official
victories and pocketed almost as much official money as
he made over the 1998 and 1999 seasons combined...14 top-10s
overall equaled the combined total of his previous two
SENIOR TOUR campaigns...Posted his first victory in over
22 months at the inaugural Audi Senior Classic in Mexico.
Birdied eight of his first 10 holes on Sunday en route
to a SENIOR TOUR career-low round of 62 at LaVista CC
and a five-stroke triumph over Jim Colbert, Dean Overturf
and Doug Tewell...Also won the Kroger Senior Classic during
the fall, holding off Larry Nelson by a stroke at Kings
Island with a 64 on Sunday...Came close to a third victory
at The Home Depot Invitational during the spring, but
eventually lost to Bruce Fleisher on the fourth extra
playoff hole despite shooting a course-record 63 at the
TPC at Piper Glen in the second round...Had a streak of
72 holes without a bogey late in the summer. Played all
54 holes without a blemish at the Coldwell Banker Burnet
Classic (T5) before the run came to an end during the
first round of the FleetBoston Classic...Registered the
22nd hole-in-one of his career in the final round of the
State Farm Senior Classic, his second ace as a senior.

Legends of Golf. Duo went wire-to-wire on The Slammer
& Squire course at World Golf Village and bested Tom Wargo
and John Mahaffey by three strokes for the title...Was
tops on the SENIOR TOUR in Driving Accuracy (80.8%) and
led the circuit in Putts-Per-Round (28.47). 1998: Fired
a final-round 64 in front of his hometown fans in Birmingham
to win his first SENIOR TOUR title at the Bruno's Memorial
Classic...Made an eagle, par and four birdies over his
last six holes to beat Hale Irwin by a stroke at Greystone
GC...Carded his first ace on the SENIOR TOUR in the opening
round of the Comfort Classic. 1997: During a streaky rookie
season, posted nine top-10 finishes and collected more
than $500,000 in official earnings, more than twice what
he made in his best year on the PGA TOUR (1978/$247,406)...Made
a serious bid for his first SENIOR TOUR title at the Northville
Long Island Classic...Was one stroke off the lead after
36 holes before finishing T3, one stroke out of playoff
contention...Sixth-place finish at the Ralphs Senior Classic
netted him a $40,000 paycheck and vaulted him into the
top 31 and a spot in the Energizer SENIOR TOUR Championship...Needed
only 18 putts to shoot a 66 in his second official round
on the SENIOR TOUR at the Royal Caribbean Classic, one
off the all-time record. |
