Jackson Jobe went six innings and struck out two batters and allowed two hits as the Tigers won the game 4-0. It was his third start of the season.

He explained his gameplan to reporters as he didn't have a ton of strikeouts on the day.

The win came amid Masters weekend at Augusta National in Georgia and fond memories of his father competing in the tournament.

Brandt Jobe had 16 professional wins during his career. Six came on the PGA of Japan Tour. The highest he was ever ranked was 30th in 1998.

He was the 1990 Canadian Tour Order of Merit winner and the 1995 Asia Golf Circuit Order of Merit winner.
