finish, his only top 10…Made the cut in his first start in a
PGA TOUR event since 2002, finishing T73 at the MCI
Heritage in April…Remained one of the most accurate

CHAMPIONS TOUR CAREER HIGHLIGHTS:
2004: Improved one spot on the money list from 2003 and
surpassed the $1-million mark in earnings for the fifth
straight year…Ended a victory drought of just over a year
when, after borrowing a Ping Anser putter from the stash
of surplus clubs at the home of close friend Walter Hall,
used the club to win the Greater Hickory Classic at Rock
Barn. Made a clutch 13-foot birdie putt on the last hole to
edge Bruce Fleisher by one stroke and win the western
North Carolina event. Shot an 8-under-par 64 in the last
round to come from three strokes back of Fleisher on
Sunday. Victory was his eighth on the Champions Tour and
gave him five straight years with at least one win. Went
bogey-free over his 54 holes at Rock Barn, a first since
Morris Hatalsky won the 2003 Columbus Southern Open
without making a bogey…Started his opening round at
the JELD-WEN Tradition with a string of 59 holes without
a bogey, but made one on the first hole to end that streak.
Eventually finished T4 at the Oregon event, thanks to four
straight sub-par rounds…Was the 36-hole leader at the
Kroger Classic, but eventually fell one stroke short of a
charging Bruce Summerhays at the TPC at River's
Bend…Followed with another strong performance in his
next start, grabbing a T3 at the SAS Championship, his
fifth consecutive top-10 finish…Led the season-opening
MasterCard Championship by two strokes after 36 holes,
but eventually finished T3 in Hawaii despite a final-round
69 at Hualalai. His 64-65-129 (15-under) total over the first
two rounds were the low first-36 holes total on the
Champions Tour for the year…Plagued for a portion of the
year with an elbow problem, which forced him to withdraw
from the season-ending Charles Schwab Cup
