Australian Matt Jones lies just one stroke behind leader Brian Davis heading into the third round of the Honda Classic at PGA National Resort & Spa. Jones fired a 67 to move into outright second spot at seven-under with Davis shooting the same score. American Dudley Hart is third at six-under after a four-under 66, while Ben Crane (66) and John Mallinger (67) are tied for fourth a stroke further back. Overnight leader Luke Donald struggled with a 74 – including a quadruple bogey on the 14th – to slip into a tie for 12th at two-under. Robert Allenby is in a group of six players, including Ernie Els and Mark Calcavecchia, five shots behind Davis. Starting on the back nine, Jones had a poor start with a bogey on the 11th but rebounded strongly to post a birdie on the next hole. Jones parred the next six holes before further birdies on the 1st, 3rd and 5th kept him in striking distance of a tournament victory. “It has been the big difference the first two rounds,” Jones said of his putting. “I&aposm hitting my iron shots fine, but I&aposm struggling with my tee shots a little bit. If I can keep it going with the putter, I&aposll be happy the rest of the week.” Davis leads at the halfway stage of a PGA Tour tournament for the first time in his career and is hoping his experience in Europe will hold him in good stead down the stretch. “I&aposve won a couple times in Europe and I&aposve won Q-school here, I know what it is going to take to win,” Davis said. “We&aposve got a long way to go yet and there&aposs a lot of good players around the top of the leaderboard.”
