Was one of six players to lead Charles Schwab Cup standings during season and eventually finished fifth in the final standings. Was voted as the PGA TOUR Champions's Player of the Month for April.

Teamed with Billy Andrade for a three-stroke victory at the Bass Pro Shops Legends of Golf. His hole-in-one on No. 12 with a 7-iron from 166 yards was the turning point as the pair went on to post an impressive 9-under-par 45 on the par-3 Top of the Rock Course Sunday and cruised to a three-stroke victory. The win was the first for each player on the PGA TOUR Champions, and it marked the first time in that event that both players earned their first career wins on Tour.

Nearly added a second title to his resume when he battled Mark Calcavecchia at The Principal Charity Classic before finishing T2 along with Brian Henninger. Trailed by just one stroke after 36 holes, but a pair of bogeys on the front nine Sunday proved costly.

Looked to be in control and on his way to a win at the SAS Championship in October in North Carolina. Held a two-stroke advantage late in the final round before Tom Lehman's great finish grabbed the win. Lehman played his final four holes in five-under par and took the lead for good with an eagle at No. 17 at Prestonwood CC. Playing one group behind Lehman, had an opportunity to tie at No. 17 but missed a five-foot birdie opportunity. Lehman then closed the door minutes later when he made another birdie at No. 18 to open a two-stroke lead.

Late in the year, was second at the Toshiba Classic, the final full-field event of the campaign. Fueled by a final-round 9-under-par 62, his low round on the PGA TOUR Champions, he was tied for the lead at one point Sunday before finishing two behind Duffy Waldorf at the Newport Beach CC.

Finished T3 at the Constellation SENIOR PLAYERS Championship on the strength of a final-round 67 at Belmont CC. Performance was his best in a major championship on any Tour.

Used a final-round 69 at Fallen Oak to finish solo fourth, two strokes behind David Frost at the Mississippi Gulf Resort Classic. Was the 18-hole co-leader in the event with Colin Montgomerie after shooting a 5-under 67 in the first round.

In contention throughout at the Insperity Invitational before eventually finishing T4 near Houston, one stroke out of a playoff.

Missed the cut at the PGA TOUR's Puerto Rico Open in March.
