John's birdie opp on 2 comes up five feet short. Short slider to save par.... Aaaaaand he buries it. Even through 2. pic.twitter.com/QKuT8qbVaF

The No. 1 pick in the 1983 @NFL Draft is +2 thru 7. Par five remaining on this side though, scoring opportunities are still out there on the front pic.twitter.com/k0Y3Cvr94C
— Colorado AvidGolfer (@coloavidgolfer) May 28, 2018
A HUGE par save on the par-3 8th keeps Elway at +2. The scoreable 9th awaits and birdie seems like a must-have here
— Colorado AvidGolfer (@coloavidgolfer) May 28, 2018
Great start to the second nine here for #7 — that said, lots of work to be done at +4 thru 9 pic.twitter.com/hDVI9X015w
— Colorado AvidGolfer (@coloavidgolfer) May 28, 2018
Missed it, but man that’s a good putt. Double breaker that starts downhill and ends uphill. Moves to +5... things are looking bleak unless momentum shifts big time #getopen #ussenioropen @USGA @TheBroadmoor pic.twitter.com/FE5nmBdE01
— Colorado AvidGolfer (@coloavidgolfer) May 28, 2018
Birdie opp just misses again. Tap in par leaves the @nfl Hall of Famer at +5 thru 11 pic.twitter.com/n4eBTO7CF7
— Colorado AvidGolfer (@coloavidgolfer) May 28, 2018
John (+6 thru 14) sits tied for an alternate spot and two off the second qualifying spot (+4) as ominous clouds roll over Cheyenne Mountain #getopen #ussenioropen @USGA @TheBroadmoor pic.twitter.com/0VA9h5Xumr

Final tally on the day for Elway: 80 (+10) for his qualifier. Won't be enough to crack the list.

Even an undesired ending couldn't end the fun, though!
Cool Moment for #Broncos fan Charlie Ellis . When @johnelway finished on 18, he turned & threw the ball to Charlie. Charlie says it was an amazing moment for him. He’s a huge Elway fan & that meant a lot that he threw it to him. A souvenir he will keep forever. @DenverChannel pic.twitter.com/h5wQqd8LP2

3. Never-ending debate The Warriors defeated the Rockets on Monday night to set up the fourth straight NBA Finals matchup between Golden State and Cleveland, and after a little celebrating, some Broncos weighed in on what this Finals appearance means for LeBron James' standing among the all-time greats.
