HIS STORY:
Matt Jones had a breakout season in 2013/14, with a maiden US PGA Tour victory at the Houston Open. He failed to back it up with a win in the US in 2015, but the Sydneysider had a solid year with four top-10s and 20 cuts made. The Australian is Jones' home club, where his coach Gary Barter is the director of teaching, and he will be looking to atone for a disappointing T91 finish last year. A runner-up to Geoff Ogilvy at The Lakes in 2010, Jones will be buoyed by the fact his brother Brett – a club pro based in New Jersey – will also be teeing it up.
