Jones Overcomes Some Anxious Moments to Win Australian Open
SYDNEY — Matt Jones talked about the "stress and anxious moments" during his final round at the Australian Open on Sunday.
He wasn't exaggerating.
Jones overcame a bogey, double-bogey and triple-bogey on the front nine Sunday to escape with a one-stroke victory in the 100th Australian Open after shooting a 2-over 73. Jones, who led defending champion Jordan Spieth by three strokes to begin the day, finished with a 72-hole total of 8-under 276.
Adam Scott, who shot 65 on The Australian Golf Club course Sunday, and Spieth, who had a 71 and missed an eagle attempt on the 18th that could have forced a playoff, were tied for second.
