SA was the pro at the drawings party before a BMW pro-am I played in. He took a shining to the beautiful lady I was with and openly hit on her, right in front of me. Now I'm a former fan of his.

Oh no worries...the irony is I was fan boi-ing him initially...then he took over! Gotta admit his hand action was pretty good if you know what I mean.

So, how did he go in the end?

Briny Baird, haven't seen him since he lost on the 6 th playoff hole to Bryce Mulder in 2011. I remember them both driving a short par 4 in the playoff. Baird had the distinction of having won the most money without a win on the PGA tour with 13 million. He will be of champion tour age in 3 years so we may see him again.

In one of the other threads, grm24 put up the list of PGA Tour medical extensions and Briny was on there as a Major Medical extending back to the 2017 season.

Elk, but he seems to have found a niche in his off the course businesses. Chris Demarco too but i saw him at a Champions event in August.

Martin Kaymer. Obviously not close to being a senior but he's pretty much fallen off the map. He might be the most unheralded great player of the last ten years or so. I loved his game and the way he carried himself.

He's had quite a few rounds in the 60's the last couple months. You might start to see him popping up in contention in the near future.

I think Brian Davis now owns the distinction of most money with no win, but Briny has major back issues to go along with double shoulder surgery in 12-13? I don’t know as that he comes back from that unfortunately, I know he has really been enjoying the home life with his kids. But he may make a run at the Senior Circuit especially if he can get a cart, but walking 54-72 holes is a challenge for him still I think.

He’s been playing in Europe and having a fair/good season no wins I don’t think but I do seem to remember a couple top 5s and a runner up over the summer.
