It was his best Champions Tour outing since his third at the 2012 AT&T Championship near the end of the season.

• Toshiba Classic: Held a two-stroke advantage after 36 holes at the Toshiba Classic but played his first five holes of the final round in 4-over to relinquish the lead. He rebounded with three birdies to get back into contention but hurt his chances with successive bogeys at Nos. 16 and 17.
