Bruce Fleisher will not get back at Hale Irwin this week, but Christy O'Connor Jr. will be on his mind at the State Farm Senior Classic, which begins Friday.

Fleisher relinquished a two-stroke lead in the final round of the U.S. Senior Open on Sunday, allowing Irwin to walk away with the title as he remained without a major victory in his two years on tour.

Irwin is not entered in this event, but O'Connor is, meaning Fleisher will have a chance to avenge a one-stroke loss here last year, one of his seven runner-up finishes during a player of the year season.

O'Connor carded a final-round 5-under 67 to reach a tournament record 18-under 198 at the 54-hole event and hold off Fleisher by one stroke at Hobbit's Glen Golf Club.

It was the first of two titles for the 1999 Senior Tour rookie, who overcame blistering heat to win wire-to-wire and then dedicated the victory to his son, Darren, who 10 months earlier died in a car accident.

The win was even more remarkable, considering O'Connor was a sponsor's exemption. Only he and Gary McCord won Senior events as sponsor's exemptions last season.

O'Connor also won the Foremost Insurance Championship in August, but he has had just one top-10 finish in 2000. That came last week in Bethlehem, Pa., where he tied for eighth at the U.S. Senior Open.

Fleisher finished the major alone in second -- his third runner-up of the season -- but was passed for first on the money list by Irwin, with both at more than $1.4 million. The two are tied for the 2000 tour lead with three titles.

Six of the top-10 players on the money list are here, including Larry Nelson, Dana Quigley, Allen Doyle, Hubert Green and Tom Jenkins.

Tom Watson and Tom Kite are taking the week off, as are Jack Nicklaus and Arnold Palmer. But Gary Player will make his first Baltimore-area appearance since the early 1980s.
