It was a bad time for Colorado Golf Hall of Famer Brandt Jobe to post his highest round as a PGA Tour Champions player.
Jobe, who turned 50 a little over a year ago, shot a 9-over-par 79 Saturday at Scioto Country Club in Columbus, Ohio, dropping him 34 spots on the U.S. Senior Open scoreboard, from eighth place to 42nd.
Jobe played his final 10 holes in 9 over par Saturday after being in contention for the title prior to that. He finished the day with a triple bogey, a double bogey, five bogeys and one birdie on Saturday. That leaves him at 10-over-par 220, 15 strokes behind leader Miguel Angel Jimenez.
Jobe has recorded three top-five showings in senior majors so far this year.
Meanwhile, Colorado resident Gary Hallberg shares 51st place after a third-round 76 left him at 222.
The championship will conclude on Sunday.
