Turned 50 on July 17, 2004, and just five days later made an impressive European Senior Tour debut at the Senior British Open, where he tied for 2nd. Sealed his first Seniors Tour win at Wentworth Club in August 2005 when he dominated in an eight-shot victory at the Travis Perkins Senior Masters. Became the third-oldest winner on the European Tour behind Des Smyth and Neil Coles when, just three days before his 48th birthday, when he won The 2002 Barclays Scottish Open at Loch Lomond, his eighth European Tour title. Known as El Gato - "The Cat." because of the way he stealthily stalks and overcomes opponents.
The son of a club professional in Cordoba, where he still lives, he earned his PGA Tour card in 1994 but returned after only one season to rejoin his many friends in Europe.
