Biggest thrills in golf were playing on the University of Houston's 1970 NCAA championship team, all of his victories on both the PGA TOUR and PGA TOUR Champions and playing with both Arnold Palmer and Jack Nicklaus.
Biggest thrill outside of golf is being at the birth of his three children.
Got started in golf by watching his father and older brother.
A college teammate of John Mahaffey and was a second-team All-America at Houston in 1971.
His brother owns Winged Canyon, a winery in the Napa Valley.
Favorite golf course is Pebble Beach.
Enjoys watching "MASH" and "Seinfeld" reruns and was a big fan of Bob Hope's shows.
American cyclist Lance Armstrong is his favorite athlete.
Enjoys Mexican food.
Best friend on the PGA TOUR Champions is Bruce Fleisher.
