With only three players managing to go under-par on the day, Jones finished with a 4-under 52 to triumph by one over Queenslander David Fearns, with West Australian Stuart Beament in third at 1-under.

HOW THE WINNING ROUND UNFOLDED

Jones started his day with birdie on the 163-metre par-3 seventh, and added another at Bondi’s ninth. Further birdies at 17, one and two had the Sydneysider 5-under on his day with four holes to play.

An untimely bogey on his final hole, the stout 110-metre sixth dropped him back to four however, which still proved enough for the outright win.

WHAT THE WINNER SAID

“It was really solid today. Hit quite a few greens and if I did miss, I only just missed them, was able to putt up and I putted solidly and made quite a few birdies,” he said.

“I three-putted the last. I thought that might’ve blown it, but it was still good enough to get up for the win, so very happy with today.

“This year has been a bit of a struggle with my game. I’m a bit stubborn. I’m out here to try and find a bit of a game and see if I can get back to some form again and again.

“It shows glimpses, I’ve just been a bit inconsistent, but this win might hopefully boost me onto bigger things.”
