Another Close Call

Colorado Golf Hall of Famer Brandt Jobe celebrated Easter Sunday by matching his best finish ever on the PGA Tour Champions circuit.

Jobe, who lived in Colorado from 1970-99, shared third place Sunday in the Mitsubishi Electric Classic in Duluth, Ga.

A winner of one Colorado Open, three CGA Match Plays and one CGA Amateur, Jobe posted rounds of 68-68-70 for a 10-under-par 206 total. He ended up five strokes behind winner Stephen Ames and one behind runner-up Bernhard Langer.

In Sunday’s closing round, Jobe made an eagle and 17 pars. In the first two rounds combined, he’d carded a dozen birdies.

Jobe has previously finished third twice on PGA Tour Champions — at the Senior PGA Championship and the Dominion Charity Classic, both last year. He’s notched eight top-10 showings in his Champions career.
