Jones grabs early lead By DaviD Skipwith Australian Steve Jones has returned to golf after a nine-month break to claim the lead on the opening day of the New Zealand Open in Queenstown yesterday. Jones put his career aside last year to aid his wife in her struggle to overcome a brain tumour, and made an impressive start to the four-day tournament in wet and windy conditions to finish at six under par. The 32-year-old finished ahead of fellow countryman Callan O’Reilly, and thirdplaced Manawatu rookie Joshua Munn, who is tied for third with Victorian Rory Bourke at four under. Starting on the back nine at The Hills course, Jones got off to a rough start with two bogeys, but bounced back strongly to nail six birdies over the next eight holes. A second bogey on the fourth was merely a blip as he regained his momentum with three more birdies helping him to a strong score. “I’m very happy and very excited,” said Jones. “Last year was a little tough. I took the year off and did the right thing and looked after my wife, so I’m happy I’m able to play again. “When I started, it was gusting pretty high and raining, and I thought, ‘this is

going to be a tough day’. “I got off to a pretty shaky start but managed to chip one in on my third hole. “That got me going and I just took it from there.” Palmerston North product Munn enjoyed what he described as a “crazy day” and was pleased with a top-three finish after making his pro debut at the New Zea-
land PGA event at Remuera last week. The 25-year-old began with an eagle and claimed four birdies to enjoy a share of the lead early on but slipped with bogeys on the third and 18th. “It was a good day and I’m really pleased with that score,” he said. “That wind and rain came in and you didn’t know which way the wind was coming from and it was a bit of a guessing game really.” Tournament favourite Ryan Fox fought his way to a three-way tie for ninth with fellow Kiwis Peter Smith and Craig Palmer at two under. The 29-year-old began his round on Millbrook’s back nine, with bogeys on the 15th and fourth holes the only blemishes, while back-to-back birdies on the 16th and 17th and another pair on the second and fifth holes assisted his cause. “I was very happy,” said Fox. “It was one of those days where you could play your way out of the tournament really easily. “There were a few things I don’t think I’ve ever seen happen on a golf course with a bit of wind blowing in different directions on the same hole. “Hopefully tomorrow it’s not too windy and we can make a few birdies out there and put some good scores up.” - NZME
■ CRICKET
Security fears at World Twenty20 Pakistan have delayed their departure to India for the World Twenty20 as they await security clearance from the country’s interior ministry, the head of the Pakistan Cricket Board said yesterday. PCB chairman Shahryar Khan said the team had been due to leave for Kolkata en route to New Delhi at noon on Wednesday, but the departure had been put on hold. “We are awaiting the green light from interior minister Chaudhry Nisar Ali Khan, who will assess a security delegation report and will let us know about the plan,” Khan told media. Pakistan sent a security assessment team to India on Monday after voicing repeated concerns about arrangements following extremist threats. Khan said the departure of Pakistan’s women’s team was also on hold pending clearance. It was unclear how long the delay would be.
