| 2001 Season Highlights |
| Made a late-season push to earn a spot among the top
50 on the money list and a partial exemption for 2002...Best
performance in a stroke-play event came in his last tournament
when he finished T8 at The Transamerica. Moved into contention
on Saturday with an 8-under 64, one of his two lowest
rounds of the year. Came within a stroke of the lead on
Sunday when he holed a lob wedge second shot for an eagle
at Silverado's 14th hole...Also T5 at the Enterprise Rent-A-Car
Match Play Championship. Used a second-round 66 to qualify
for the match play portion of the event. Lost in the quarterfinals
to Leonard Thompson in 19 holes after going 23 holes in
his win over Bob Charles in the first round of match play.
His $78,000 check was the largest of his SENIOR TOUR career...Fired
an 8-under 64 the following week in the first round of
the TD Waterhouse Championship and was among the early
leaders...Closed with rounds of 69-67 at Mississaugua
and tied for 10th at the AT&T Canada Senior Open...Had
a run of 15 straight par/better rounds late in the summer
from the final day of the Novell Utah Showdown through
Saturday of the Gold Rush Classic near Sacramento. |
| Career Highlights |
| 2000: Earned a conditional exemption on the SENIOR TOUR
in his first attempt at qualifying for the circuit. Finished
72 holes at Walt Disney World with a 9-under 279 total
and then secured the 12th position with a birdie on the
second playoff hole...Advanced to the final stage after
tying for sixth at the regional qualifier at Marsh Creek
CC in St. Augustine, FL. |
| Personal |
| Was introduced to the game by his father, but got seriously
interested when his best friend, PGA TOUR administrator
Sid Wilson, also took up the game at age 12...Biggest
thrill in golf was qualifying to play the SENIOR TOUR
and getting a second chance 20 years after attempting
to play the PGA TOUR...Lists his parents and Arnold Palmer
as his heroes...Favorite golf course in Pebble Beach. |
