 His final Tour win in 1961 snapped a nine-year winless stretch, and he also won a California regional pro event in 1963 in his 48th year.But his game fell off after that, although he continued to play some Tour events into the late 1970s, using his lifetime exemption.This created some friction on Tour, since he (and certain other non-competitive aging past champions) was blocking younger players from entering, with fields at limited sizes.
