The former Colorado Open winner shared the lead going into Sunday’s final round of the PowerShares QQQ Championship, the first Champions playoff event ever. But a 5-over-par 77 Sunday at Sherwood Country Club in Thousand Oaks, Calif., cost Jobe an opportunity for his first Champions victory.
After a 41 on the front nine that featured two double bogeys, Jobe rallied a bit with three birdies on the back side — including a long pitch-in on No. 10. He posted a 6-under-par 210 total, which left him seven strokes behind champion Tom Pernice Jr.
Jobe easily advanced — along with 53 other players — to the second tournament of the three-event Charles Schwab Cup Playoffs. That event will be the Dominion Charity Classic next week in Richmond, Va., where the top 36 finishers will qualify for the season-ending Charles Cup Championship the following week in Scottsdale, Ariz.
Jobe ranks 24th in Charles Schwab Cup points and 25th on the 2016 money list with $748,764.
