Jobe, who lived in Colorado from 1970 to ’99 and won a Colorado Open, three CGA Match Plays and a CGA Amateur, tied for eighth on Saturday in the Mitsubishi Electric Championship on the Big Island in Hawaii.

Jobe (left) shot three consecutive rounds in the 60s — 69-69-68 — to post a 10-under-par 206 total, which left him seven strokes back of champion Tom Lehman, who posted back-to-back 65s to close the tourament. In Saturday’s final round, Jobe made an eagle, five birdies and three bogeys.

Jobe, 53, has now recorded 21 top-10 finishes in 65 PGA Tour Champions events, which means he hits that standard nearly a third of the time. He’s finished in the top 20 in the Schwab Cup standings each of his three full seasons on the circuit. Jobe’s lone win to date on the senior circuit came in 2017 at the Principal Charity Classic in Iowa.

— Second Top-20 of Clark’s PGA Tour Career: Denver native Wyndham Clark recorded the second-best finish of his young PGA Tour career on Sunday by tying for 18th place in the Desert Classic in La Quinta, Calif.

Clark, who won the 2010 CGA Amateur and the 2017 Pac-12 individual title at Boulder Country Club, posted rounds of 65-67-72-68 for a 16-under-par 272 total this week, which left him 10 strokes behind winner Adam Long.

Clark would have finished much higher, but back-to-back double bogeys on his back nine in Saturday’s third round proved costly.

Nevertheless, it was by far Clark’s best showing of the 2018-19 wraparound season. In 15 PGA Tour starts for his career, his only better finish was a 17th place at the Sanderson Farms Championship in October 2017.

The former Colorado State University golfer finished fifth Saturday out of a 131-person field at the Southwest Louisiana Open, the season opener for the Adams Pro Tour.

Arp (pictured), the 2010 CGA Public Links champion, posted top-10 finishes in all five of his 2017 starts on the Dreamchasers Tour, winning once and placing second once. Then against a much bigger field this week in Westlake, La., he carded four rounds in the 60s (68-63-69-67) for a 21-under-par 267 total, which left him seven strokes behind champion Steven Fox, who won the 2012 U.S. Amateur at Cherry Hills Country Club.

Over 72 holes, Arp racked up one eagle and 24 birdies. He earned $5,230.

Meanwhile, Jamie Marshall of Lone Tree tied for fifth on Thursday at the Dreamchasers Tour’s Moon Valley Winter Championship in Phoenix.

Marshall posted rounds of 70-66-69 for an 8-under-par 205 total, which left him seven strokes behind champion Ted Purdy of Phoenix, winner of the 2005 Byron Nelson Championship on the PGA Tour. Marshall made 13 birdies in three rounds.
 

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.
 

Saunders, grandson of Arnold Palmer, has posted three top-10 PGA Tour finishes in his career, and two of them have come this month. He was ninth two weeks ago at the Barracuda Championship and placed eighth Sunday in the Barbasol Championship. Both events were held opposite more significant tournaments on the PGA Tour — Barbasol the British Open and Barracuda the WGC Bridgestone Invitational.

In Auburn, Ala., at the Barbasol, Saunders shot rounds of 68-69-65-68 for a 14-under-par 270 total that left him four shots out of the playoff between Aaron Baddeley and Si Woo Kim that Baddeley won.

The last two tournaments have helped Saunders make up considerable ground in his attempt to retain his PGA Tour card for the 2016-17 wraparound season. He currently stands 138th on the FedExCup points list. The top 125 on that list will be fully exempt for next season.
 

Dunkle, a former Colorado 5A state high school champion, previously has placed fourth, fifth and seventh in college tournaments this season.

This time around, Dunkle led CSU to a sixth-place showing in the 14-team event. He shot rounds of 70-72-70 for a 4-under-par 212 total, which left him seven strokes behind co-champions Gustavo Morantes of New Mexico and Nick Voke of Iowa State.

Also finishing in the top 20 for CSU on Tuesday were Pueblo’s Jimmy Makloski and Scottsdale’s Colton Yates, who tied for 16th at 214.

Despite very stiff winds Sunday and Monday, and strong rain on Sunday at Torrey Pines South, the former Colorado State University golfer parred each of his last 10 holes and finished eighth at the Farmers Insurance Open.

The Scotsman started the final round very poorly on Sunday, playing the first eight holes in 5 over par. But then he steadied the ship despite all the wind and rain on Sunday afternoon. And with the weather leading to the tournament conclusion being pushed back to Monday, he ran his streak of consecutive pars to 10.

Laird’s 5-over-par 77 in the final round — a stroke below the field average — left him at 1-under-par 287 overall, five strokes behind champion Brandt Snedeker, who finished his last round on Sunday.

The top-10 showing was Laird’s first on the PGA Tour since placing seventh at this same event on Feb. 8, 2015. In the 2015-16 wraparound season, Laird hadn’t placed better than 40th until Monday, when he earned $175,500.

Laird, the 2004 Denver Open champion, has won three times on the PGA Tour, with the last coming in 2013.
