Let it never be said Fred Funk isn't ambitious.

The 51-year-old has a unique goal for this season, as he splits his time between the PGA Tour and the Champions Tour -- he wants to earn $2 million on each tour.

"I can't really compete in the FedEx Cup, and I can't really compete in the Charles Schwab Cup because I'm diluting myself so much," Funk said after missing the cut at the Verizon Heritage on Friday. "That's the biggest reason I set my own individual goal."

It won't be easy. Funk figures he needs to dominate the dozen or so events he'll play on the Champions Tour (he has made $517,883 in six events so far this year) and have at least a couple of strong finishes on the PGA Tour, where the purses are more lucrative and he has earned $218,883 in seven starts.

This two-week swing through the Lowcountry -- Funk is the only player in the Heritage field who also will tee it up at the Club at Savannah Harbor for this week's Liberty Mutual Legends of Golf -- figures to play prominently in whether he reaches that benchmark.

And after the way things went at Harbour Town Golf Links, a course that has always suited Funk's game, he could use a big payday from Savannah.

Funk slipped over to Savannah for a practice round Thursday evening, and he liked what he saw. He figures he and partner Scott Hoch can use their accuracy off the tee to stay out of the thick rough at Savannah Harbor, and he found something in his putting stroke while there that could help him break out of a recent scoring slump. After a 5-over-par 76 at Harbour Town on Thursday, Funk shot even-par 71 on Friday.

"I've gone through about an eight-week stretch here of horrendous scoring," Funk said. "I think I turned a corner (Friday) where I've got a glimmer of hope.

"I'm a lot more optimistic about things than I was (Thursday)."
