Jobe snares one-shot lead
Mayfair one back at PGA Michelob Championship
Williamsburg, Va. ? Brandt Jobe shot a 6-under 65 Saturday to take a one-stroke lead over Billy Mayfair in the Michelob Championship, while David Duval tumbled off the leaderboard.
Duval, a two-time Kingsmill winner who struggled to keep his drives out of the thick rough, ballooned to a 74, leaving him seven strokes behind Jobe entering the final round.
Jobe, whose nine career victories have come in Canada, Asia and Japan, rebounded from his lone bogey on the par-4 12th to birdie five of the last six holes, including the final four to finish at 13-under 200.
“I want to win out here to prove that the things I did in Japan you know, they were good,” he said. “I think that’s why we’re all out here.”
The bogey at No. 12 actually helped Jobe get back on track.
“That was kind of a good wake-up call that I need to get focused,” Jobe said. “I didn’t expect to finish like that, but I’ll take it.”
Geoff Ogilvy shot a 66 to join 1996 winner Scott Hoch (67), Charles Howell III (68) and Corey Pavin (68) at 10-under 203. Steve Flesch (66) and Hidemichi Tanaka (71) were 8 under.
