| Contended for Rookie of the Year honors thanks to a
pair of victories and 11 other top-10 finishes...Earnings
of over $1.6 million were more than five times greater
than his best year on the PGA TOUR (1982-$308,648)...Started
and ended the season on a positive note...Closed with
a 4-under 67 at the TPC of Tampa Bay to win the Verizon
Classic by three strokes over four players. Only needed
75 total putts over three days for his Verizon title,
his first win on TOUR in 18 years and 18 days (1983 Phoenix
Open)...Became a multiple champion for the first time
since 1982 when he closed the year with a victory at the
SENIOR TOUR Championship at Gaillardia, the second straight
year a rookie has won the season-ending event. Was the
first-round leader in Oklahoma City and stayed close to
the lead over the next two days. Eventually edged Doug
Tewell by a stroke in windy conditions despite carding
a 1-over 73, the highest finishing score by a winner since
the 1999 Lightpath Long Island Classic...Almost won the
week prior at the SBC Championship. Was one stroke off
the lead after 36 holes and eventually T2 at The Dominion,
falling two strokes short of Larry Nelson despite a final-round
66...Voted as the Player of the Month for October...Played
some of his most consistent golf of the year during the
spring. Ran off 17 straight sub-par rounds, a 2001 best
streak, from late-April until mid-June and finished third
at the Senior PGA Championship after being tied for the
lead at Ridgewood after 54 holes...Also made it to the
semifinals of the Enterprise Rent-A-Car Match Play Championship
before losing 6 and 5 to Vicente Fernandez...Was par/better
in every second round after the FORD SENIOR PLAYERS Championship
in mid July and was under par in every event after the
Dearborn, MI stop as well. |

National Qualifying final. |
