Matt Jones ties course record with 61 in Honda Classic

PALM BEACH GARDENS, Fla. (AP) — Matt Jones tied the course record at PGA National in the first round of the Honda Classic on Thursday with a 9-under 61. Brian Harman shot a 61 at PGA National in the second round of the 2012 Honda. Tiger Woods shot a 62 in the final round that same year. Until Thursday, they were the only rounds of 8 under or better since the event moved to PGA National 15 years ago. Jones, an Australian ranked No. 83 in the world, was flawless with nine birdies and no bogeys.
