PGA leader Matt Jones bombs wild drive into hospitality tent, plays 2nd shot from the bar

Matt Jones has enjoyed a multi-shot cushion throughout his front nine on Saturday, but that may be coming to an end shortly. After blocking his ball way right at the 8th and nearly putting it in Lake Michigan, Jones went to the 9th and bombed another one off the grid and into the hospitality and merchandise tent. Jones’ ball came to rest on the carpet up there, so he decided to pull a Phil Mickelson and just play it as it lies.

After taking a look at where his drop would be -- on a nasty sidehill -- Jones played his second shot straight off the carpet next to the bar. There was a picket fence and several flag poles to thread it through but he it got up around the green!

Jones did make a bogey and drop a shot, but that’s going to happen when you’re playing from spots that aren’t even on the course.
