in a row, but was the only one of 16 millionaires last
year to not win an event...Had a solid campaign that saw

on the victory door three times only to come up short
with three runner-up finishes, all in the second half
of the season...Was in the hunt throughout the Instinet
Classic, but finished two strokes back of Gil Morgan at
the TPC at Jasna Polana...One of only three players in
the Novell Utah Showdown field to card three consecutive
sub-70 rounds, but came up one stroke shy of Steve Veriato
at Park Meadows Country Club...Had victory snatched from
his grasp at the Kroger Senior Classic. Closed with a
career-best 7-under 63 at Kings Island on Sunday and was
two strokes up on Jim Thorpe with one hole to play. Dramatic
eagle by Thorpe forced a playoff and then a birdie by
Thorpe on the first extra hole proved to be the winner...Was
par or better in every second round from the BellSouth
Senior Classic at Opryland in early June through the SAS
Championship in late September. |

one stroke short of Hale Irwin. Lost out again to Irwin
by two strokes in Nashville despite posting a 54-hole
score of 16-under 200, his best effort all year in relation

fourth place after shooting a 71 on Sunday...Went over
the $2 million in SENIOR TOUR career earnings with his
