campaign in Hawaii when he dueled Hale Irwin on the back
nine of the Turtle Bay Championship before losing by three

by three strokes heading into the final round at The Meadow
Brook Club, but fell back after a final-round 73...Returned
to early contention two weeks later at the Novell Utah
Showdown when he was among the Friday leaders after firing
an 8-under 64 in Park City, his low round since shooting
a 63 at the 2000 Gold Rush Classic. Stumbled on the weekend
and ended up in a T10...Was under par in every first round

in his professional career and was among the top 15 money-winners
for a fourth straight season...Defeated Gil Morgan in
overtime at the Bruno's Memorial Classic. Came from six
strokes back on Sunday with a final-round 64 at Greystone

stroke for the title. 1997: Nearly posted his first SENIOR
TOUR victory at the Southwestern Bell Dominion...Held
