PGA TOUR 2021 - The Honda Classic at PGA National - Round Three
Matt Jones regains lead at Honda Classic, by 3 shots
Sydney's Matt Jones has re-taken the lead at the 2021 Honda Classic in the third round. He is now 10-under par, 200. Aaron Wise, who overtook Jones yesterday, is tied second with fellow American J.B. Holmes on 7-under, 203.
From the PGA TOUR's Daily Wrap-up:
Aaron Wise had a six-shot lead during the third round of The Honda Classic, looking poised to turn the tournament into a rout.
Everything went wrong from there, and Matt Jones took full advantage.
The 40-year-old Australian handled the wind at PGA National to shoot a 1-under 69 on Saturday, going to 10 under for the tournament and moving three shots clear of Wise and J.B. Holmes.
"I'm happy to go low with the ball flight and I'm probably a little more conservative when the wind is up," Jones said. "I'll probably play a little safer than normal. I'm naturally a very aggressive player. But I think in the wind, I have a tendency to manage the golf course differently."
Wise played his final 13 holes in 7 over, capped by hitting his tee shot into a quagmire of weeds and muck on the 18th for what became another bogey to cap a round of 75. Read the full round coverage here.
