Brendan Jones looking to consolidate Nationwide status

IN: News | Nationwide | Henrico County Open (2004) | General | by Bruce Young | 19 May 2004

Australian golfer Brendan Jones is in the US this week, after a great start to his campaign in Japan this season and looking to consolidate his current seventh place on the Nationwide Tour money list.

Jones, who finished runner up in both the opening events of the Nationwide season at the Jacobs Creek Open and the New Zealand PGA Championship, plays the Henrico County Open in Richmond, Virginia, where he will tee it up with his fellow countryman and Links Sports management stablemate, Paul Gow, in rounds one and two.

Jones won the Tsuruya Open earlier in the season in Japan and is currently in fourth place on the Japan Golf Tour money list.

One of the game's bigger hitters Jones will be keen to take advantage of this hot start on the Nationwide Tour to gain access to the USPGA Tour in 2005.
