Peaking at Right Time

Brandt Jobe has had a very nice start to his PGA Tour Champions career, but the Colorado Golf Hall of Famer has especially thrived in senior majors.

The former Coloradan finished eighth Sunday in the Senior PGA Championship at Trump National Golf Club near Washington D.C., marking his second top-10 in as many appearances in the oldest major in senior golf. He placed third at the event last year.

In fact, of Jobe’s nine top-10s in his PGA Tour Champions career, four have now come in senior majors.

On Sunday, Jobe closed with a 1-under-par 71, giving him an 8-under 280 total for the week. After rounds of 69-71-69-71, he ended up 10 strokes behind champion Bernhard Langer.

The performance was worth $77,100 to Jobe, who lived in Colorado from 1970 to ’99.
