Martin Laird has been a big-league check-cashing machine on the PGA Tour this season.
The former Colorado State University golfer on Sunday tied for eighth place in the Genesis Open at Riviera Country Club in Pacific Palisades, Calif., marking his fourth top-10 finish in eight starts on the PGA Tour in the 2016-17 wraparound season.
The showing was worth $203,000, inching Laird (pictured) very close to $15 million in career money on the PGA Tour, with $14.83 million. The three-time PGA Tour winner has earned at least $140,000 in each of five tournaments this season and has racked up $952,506 in tourney earnings over just the last four-plus months. He stands 19th on the 2016-17 PGA Tour money list.
Though Laird hasn’t won this season, he’s finished seventh once, eighth twice and ninth once.
At the Genesis Open, Laird went 70-68-70-66 for a 10-under-par 274 total, leaving him seven strokes behind champion Dustin Johnson.
Meanwhile, former Golden resident Andrew Svoboda posted his best Web.com Tour finish since winning an event in Brazil last April.
Svoboda placed ninth Sunday in the Panama Claro Championship in Panama City, carding rounds of 70-68-68-67 for a 7-under-par 273 total, which left him six strokes behind winner Andrew Putnam.
Svoboda owns three wins on the Web.com circuit.
