Casey one back of Aussie Jones through two rounds at Australian Open
0:002:09SYDNEY – Australian Matt Jones birdied his final hole Friday for a 6-under 65 and a one-stroke lead after two rounds on a day of low scoring at the Australian Open.
Jones had a 36-hole total of 10-under 132 at The Australian Golf Club. Paul Casey shot 65 and Dimitrios Papadatos 66 and were tied for second.
''Anytime you get to lead is fantastic,'' Jones said. ''It would have been better to be more in front, but I'll take one in front. Still a long way to go. I'm sure the wind is going to pick up the next two days, which will make it a little tougher.''
American Cameron Tringale, who shot 65, and Louis Oosthuizen had a 66 to be among those two shots behind.
