CHAMPIONS <strong>TOUR</strong> CAREER HIGHLIGHTS:<br />

2004: Celebrated his 50th year in professional<br />

golf…Finished second to Tom Watson at the Wendy's<br />

Champions Skins Game, earning five skins and $140,000<br />

at Wailea. Lost out on a golden opportunity for victory on<br />

the final hole of regulation when, with five skins and<br />

$260,000 on the line, he missed an eight-foot birdie putt.<br />

Overall performance was still his best since winning the<br />

1993 event…Played in his 26th consecutive Bay Hill<br />

Invitational and appeared in the Masters Tournament for a<br />

50th straight year…Served as captain of the U.S. team<br />

once again at the UBS Cup. 2003: Matched his age three<br />

times (seventh, eighth and ninth times in his career) and<br />

also bettered his age (second time in his career) during the<br />

campaign…Shot one better than his age in the opening<br />

round of the SBC Championship when he carded a 73.<br />

Later matched his age in the same event when he closed<br />

with a 74 in San Antonio…Earlier in the year he had<br />

matched his age with an opening-round 73 at the<br />

MasterCard Championship in Hawaii and a first-round 73<br />

at the Liberty Mutual Legends of Golf in Savannah,<br />

GA…Made his 23rd consecutive appearance in the U.S.<br />

Senior Open at the Inverness Club in Toledo…Made two<br />

starts on the <strong>PGA</strong> <strong>TOUR</strong>, including the Bay Hill Invitational<br />

and a record-tying 49th appearance at the<br />

Masters…Captained the United States team to victory for<br />

the second consecutive year in the UBS Cup Matches at<br />

Sea Island, GA. 2002: Matched his age in the final round<br />

of the Napa Valley Championship when he shot a 1-over<br />

73. It was the first time he shot his age since opening with<br />

a 1-under 71 at the 2001 Senior <strong>PGA</strong> Championship at<br />

Ridgewood CC in New Jersey. Accomplishment in Napa<br />

made him the eighth and final player to shoot or better his<br />

age on the Champions Tour during the season…Made<br />
