(Updated July 1) Colorado Golf Hall of Famer Brandt Jobe jumped into the top 30, but Fort Collins resident Dale Smigelsky missed the 36-hole cut at the U.S. Senior Open in Peabody, Mass.
Jobe, winner of the Principal Charity Classic on PGA Tour Champions earlier this month, shot a 1-under-par 69 Friday at Salem Country Club to check in at 1-under 139 overall. That leaves him in 29th place, 10 strokes behind co-leaders Kirk Triplett and Kenny Perry going into the weekend.
Jobe (pictured) finished in the top five at three senior majors in 2016.
Twenty-four players didn’t complete their second round on Friday due to a storm delay, including Smigelsky, who wrapped up his final two holes on Saturday morning.
Smigelsky, competing in his first senior major championship, ended up shooting a 6-over-par 76 in round 2, leaving him at 7-over 147. The top 60 players and ties — those at 141 or better — made the 36-hole cut and advance to the final two rounds.
Smigelsky, who earlier this month finished 27th in the national PGA Professional Championship, made one birdie, five bogeys and one double bogey in round 2.
As for the other players with strong Colorado connections competing in the U.S. Senior Open, former Castle Pines resident Esteban Toledo (142) also missed the cut, along with two-time champion Hale Irwin (149) and amateur Charlie Post of Castle Rock (171).
