Perhaps the distractions of the Broncos’ ownership situation had John Elway distracted, or maybe his drive simply struggled to find the fairway.

Whatever the reason, the Broncos’ general manager failed to make the cut at the CoBank Colorado Senior Open on Thursday.

Elway, who entered Thursday’s second round 1-over-par, was 3-over for the day at Green Valley Ranch Golf Club, plagued by a double-bogey on the fifth hole and a triple-bogey on the eighth. Both holes are par-3s. His two-round score of 148 — 4-over — missed the cut by a  stroke.

Skip Kendall, a PGA Tour alumnus from Florida, leads the field with a two-round score of 9-under.

Thirteen players are within five strokes of Kendall for the $50,000 purse.

Broomfield’s Jon Lindstrom leads the amateur category at 4-under, four strokes ahead of Longmontap Guy Mertz.
