He finished second five times, losing in a playoff twice. In the final round of he Oregon Classic, Jones recorded his first bogey of the day on the 17th hole, but responded by making birdie on 18 to earn a spot in the playoff. "I know I'm going to get a win at some point because I'm playing so well," said Jones. "If not this year, then next year. I'm disappointed to not win but being in the playoff means I'm playing well. It was another good week for me." Jones sat down recently with PGATOUR.com's Dave Lagarde for a game of 10 questions.  Matt Jones (WireImage)
1. If the PGA TOUR allows music on the first tee what song will be used to introduce you? 2. You have the power to alter any rule in the game of golf. What is it and why do you want to change it? Jones: There are two: I don't think we should have to play out of divots and we should be able to tap down spike marks. 3. What was your most embarrassing moment on a golf course? Jones:Whenever I'm interviewed on television, I make the strange facial expressions. 4. Who would you most like to hit balls next to next year, and why? Jones: Adam Scott. I knew him growing up so it would be nice. 5. Do you have any oddball superstitions? If not, what's the strangest one you've heard of? Jones: I don't play with No. 3 or No. 6 balls. I don't like those numbers. 6. When your putt rolls in to win your first PGA TOUR title, will you go with the Tiger fist pump, the Mickelson mini-vertical jump or something a little crazier? Jones: I'm not an emotional guy, but I know I'd have a big smile on my face. 7. Other than winning a tournament, what would make next year a success? Jones: I'd love to get into the Top 70 in the world rankings. 8. You've been granted a 60-minute sit-down with any figure in the world of golf, living or dead. What's your first question and to whom would you address it? Jones: It would be Ben Hogan. The question would be, "What's your secret and can I have it?" 9. What is your wildest golf dream? Jones: It's my dad Kevin's actually. He always sets up and there is a fence in his backswing. 10. What is the most valuable lesson about your profession you learned on the Nationwide Tour? Jones: Learning to deal with travel and understanding my game better. |
