Having just bogeyed the 17th hole to lose his lead at the U.S. Open, Steve Jones could have panicked.

Instead, he stood on the 18th tee box at Oakland Hills Country Club in Bloomfield Hills, Mich., and prepared for his next shot.

"When I bogeyed 17, it calmed me down," Jones said. "It felt like a playoff. I think I'm 2-1 in playoffs and when I get in a playoff, I'm real calm and just enjoy the moment because you know you can't do any worse than second.
