Jones the early leader in Texas

Golf Betting Lines

05/13/2010 - San Antonio, TX (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Australian Matt Jones posted a six-under 66 Thursday to take a one-shot lead after one round of the Texas Open.

Jones, who is looking for his first PGA Tour title, is coming off back-to-back top-10 finishes.

Paul Stankowski, whose last PGA Tour title was in 1997, is one stroke off the lead at minus-five. J.B. Holmes headlines a group at four-under 68. He was joined there by Matt Weibring, Steve Lowery and Charley Hoffman.

Jones stumbled out of the gates with a double-bogey on the par-four first. He settled in with four straight pars before catching fire on the AT&T Oaks Course at TPC San Antonio.

The Australian rolled in a putt from off the green at the sixth and came right back with a 12-footer for birdie on seven to get back to even-par.

After four straight pars around the turn, Jones chipped in for birdie on the par-four 12th and made it two in a row when he birdied the 13th from just inside 15 feet.

Jones then rolled in a six-footer for eagle on the 14th to jump to minus-four. He joined Stankowski in the lead with a six-foot birdie putt on the 16th, then took the lead by himself with a birdie putt of a similar length on the 17th.

"I started off with a double, which wasn't the start I wanted, but the first hole is not an easy starting tee shot out there at all. It's very narrow," Jones stated. "After that, it was just a battle to get back to even-par on the front nine and then made about a 30-footer for par on 11, which kind of kept me going, and from there on I had four birdies and an eagle."

Stankowski played the back nine first and carded a bogey on the 11th to start his round. He atoned for that mistake with a birdie on the par-three 13th.

The two-time winner on the PGA Tour came back with birdies on 15 and 17 to make the turn in minus-two.

On the front side, he birdied one of the first five holes, to go with four pars. Stankowski converted consecutive birdie chances from the sixth to jump to five-under.

"I feel really good about the things I'm working on with my instructor. I had the same teacher since 1991 and had been floundering the last six years through injuries, but the last two years I was healthy and playing awful golf and so I needed a change," Stankowski said. "I hired my new instructor in February and I am really encouraged. It hasn't been the greatest of starts this year, but it has been a very solid start."

Brett Wetterich carded a three-under 69 and was joined in seventh place by Joe Durant, Steve Flesch and Arjun Atwal.

NOTES: Adam Scott, who is playing this event for the first time, headlines a group tied for 25th at minus-one...Ernie Els, who tops the FedEx points list, carded an even-par 72, while Sergio Garcia was one shot back at plus- one...Defending champion Zach Johnson needs a great round Friday just to make the cut after he struggled to an eight-over 80 in the first round, which left him tied for next-to-last place in the 155-player field...Will MacKenzie withdrew after shooting an 85 Thursday.
