Australian Open: Matt Jones Wins by One Stroke Over Jordan Spieth and Adam Scott

Matt Jones talked about the ''stress and anxious moments'' during his final round at the Australian Open on Sunday.

Jones overcame a bogey, a double bogey and a triple bogey on the front nine Sunday to escape with a one-stroke victory in the 100th Australian Open after shooting a 2-over 73. Jones, who led defending champion Jordan Spieth by three strokes to begin the day, finished with a 72-hole total of 8-under 276. Adam Scott, who shot 65 on The Australian Golf Club course Sunday, and Spieth, who had a 71 and missed an eagle attempt on the 18th that could have forced a playoff, were tied for second. Australian veteran Rod Pampling, who had a course-record 61, was fourth, two strokes behind Jones. Jones, Pampling, Scott and Spieth were frequently tied for the lead over the final hour, but a birdie on the 16th put the Australian a stroke clear. Jones' round included holing a bunker shot on the 12th hole for par. There was even drama at the end for the Australian, who dropped his club after hitting his third shot on the par-5 18th, thinking it had gone in the water. The ball landed safely on the green, however, and after being too cautious with his first putt, he holed a 3-footer for par that nearly lipped out.
