One of the surprise stories on the Champions Tour in 2010. Started the season with limited status but eventually made 20 appearances and was among the top-10 in a quarter of his starts. Was scheduled to make his Champions Tour debut at The ACE Group Classic but withdrew prior to the first round with a rib injury. After three weeks of rest, finally debuted at the Toshiba Classic, and T9th finish was first of four top-10s in his first five starts. Best overall effort of the season came in early August when he T3rd at the 3M Championship in Minnesota, thanks to three straight rounds in the 60s. Performance sealed his place among the top-30 money-winners as the 27th leading money winner with $665,075.
2011 Notes: Slipped 22 places on the final money list, finishing 49th overall after a 27th place finish in 2010. Shared the first-round lead with Michael Allen and Mark Calcavecchia at the Songdo IBD Championship in South Korea in September and eventually finished T6th. His other top-10 effort came in his second start of the year when he was T10th at The ACE Group Classic.
2012 Notes: Was conditionally-exempt and made his lone top-10 in 16 starts in a heartbreaking defeat at the 3M Championship. On the verge of victory in Minnesota until Bernhard Langer shot 62 in the final round to pass him late on the back nine and eventually win by two shots. Runner-up performance in Minnesota was his best on the Champions Tour, surpassing his T3rd at the same event in 2010.
