It didn’t take long for Brandt Jobe to notch his first top-10 finish on the PGA Tour Champions circuit.
The Colorado Golf Hall of Famer, in just his third Champions start, tied for sixth place Sunday in the Chubb Classic in Naples, Fla.
Jobe (pictured), who turned 50 on Aug. 1, shot rounds of 70-69-67 for a 10-under-par 206 total, which left him five strokes behind champion Bernhard Langer.
It marked Jobe’s best showing on either the PGA Tour or the PGA Tour Champions since he placed second at the Memorial in 2011. He earned $57,600 on Sunday.
“He’s got a lot of game,” said Lanny Wadkins, a Golf Channel analyst who was working the Chubb Classic. “He may figure out how to win out here.”
Jobe, medalist at the PGA Tour Champions Q-school finals in December, won the Colorado Open in 1992 and five major CGA championships during the 1980s (three Match Plays, one Stroke Play, one Junior Match Play and one Junior Stroke Play).
Jobe, who has four runner-up finishes on the PGA Tour to his credit, was a resident of Colorado for about two decades before moving to Texas.
